I've got a virtual machine running on a server that I can't stop or reboot - I can't log onto it anymore and I can't stop it using the VMware server console. There are other VM's running so rebooting the host is out of the question. Is there any other way of forcing one machine to stop?

To kill virtual machines:Click the Servers and VMs tab. Select the server pool on which the virtual machine resides in the navigation tree. Select Virtual Machines from the Perspective drop-down list. Select one or more virtual machines in the management pane, and click Kill.
If you're on linux then you can grab the guest processes with
ps axuw | grep vmware-vmx As @Dubas pointed out, you should be able to pick out the errant process by the path name to the VMD

If you are using Windows, the virtual machine should have it's own process that is visible in task manager. Use sysinternals Process Explorer to find the right one and then kill it from there.
