What exactly are you trying to achieve here? If you're just trying to run different things depending on whether power off or reboot is happening, you're better off using the OS's own init/upstart/whatever for it and not use open-vm-tools. If you're tying to make sure the VM powers off when you shut down the VM from the VMware UI, you may want to look at lib/system/systemLinux.c; currently it executes "shutdown -h" to shut down the VM, but I've seen cases where that doesn't really turn the power off (you'd need "shutdown -P" for those). -- - Marcelo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
