On looking at the documentation for older vmware-guestd it shows the option of specifying different commands for halt and reboot.
> /etc/vmware/vmware-guestd --halt-command <command> > where <command> is the command to execute when ESX Server asks the guest > service to halt the guest operating system. > /etc/vmware/vmware-guestd --reboot-command <command> > where <command> is the command to execute when ESX Server asks the guest > service to reboot the guest operating system. This is done in the /etc/vmware/dualconf.vm startup script. I can't find anything about dualconf.vm in open-vm-tools and the two options above are not even available for vmtoolsd. I figured out that I can specify custom poweron-script, resume-script, suspend-script, and poweroff-script in the [powerops] group of tools.conf but the only arguments to these scripts is the powerop type. Looking at the source code I found some reference to halt and reboot but they both end up pointing to the same poweroff script. Of course I also see that I can just add custom user scripts to the /etc/vmware-tools/scripts/poweroff-vm-default.d/ directory and that is just what I'm doing now. The problem of course is that if my script does the power off at the end the reboot doesn't happen, and if my script just completes a shutdown and then halts the power is not "turned off".
