VMware Tools Configuration Utility User's Guide Table 1. Default VMware Tools Scripts Script Name poweroff-vm-default poweron-vm-default resume-vm-default suspend-vm-default Description If you configured the power-off operation to shut down the guest, this script runs when the virtual machine is being powered off. If you configured the reset operation to restart the guest, this script runs when the virtual machine is being reset. This script has no effect on networking for the virtual machine. If you configured the power-on operation to start the guest, this script runs when the virtual machine is being powered on rather than resumed. If you configured the reset operation to restart the guest, this script runs after virtual machine restarts. This script has no effect on networking for the virtual machine. If you configured the power-on operation to start the guest or configured the reset operation to restart the guest, this script runs when the virtual machine is resumed after it was suspended. On Windows guests, if the virtual machine is configured to use DHCP, this script renews the IP address of the virtual machine. On Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD guests, this script starts networking for the virtual machine. If you configured the suspend operation to suspend the guest, this script runs when the virtual machine is being suspended. On Windows guests, if the virtual machine is configured to use DHCP, this script releases the IP address of the virtual machine. On Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD , this script stops networking for the virtual machine. Disable a VMware Tools Script Default scripts for suspending and resuming a virtual machine are written to work together. If you disable the script for one of these actions, you must disable the script for the other action as well. IMPORTANT This utility cannot run scripts in Windows 95, 98, Me, and NT guest operating systems. Prerequisites On Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD guests, to test, edit, or disable the running of a script, log in as root. 16 VMware, Inc.
