Make sure Parallels Desktop is not running. If it is running, the following command will still create a console window.

From Terminal.app, use the Parallels command line: prlctl

# List available VMs
prlctl list --all

# Start a VM using its name
prlctl start UbuntuServer

# Stop the VM
prlctl stop UbuntuServer

# Pause and Resume
prlctl pause UbuntuServer
prlctl resume UbuntuServer

# Reset and Restart
prlctl reset UbuntuServer
prlctl restart UbuntuServer
