Hello, I use several OpenBSD/i386 (versions 4.3 and 4.4) VMs under VMWare Workstation and ESX. They work great for my purposes (few LAMP servers + 1 OpenVPN server), but there is one annoyance:
when I close the VMWare or shutdown the host, then the OpenBSD VMs aren't shutdown properly. I've tried to install the FreeBSD-version of VMWare-Tools as described in http://www.linux.com/feature/56683 but still the proper shutdown doesn't happen even though I see the daemon being run in the VM: $ ps uawwwx | grep vmware root 26568 98.3 0.2 500 216 ?? Rs/0 12:24PM 607:02.63 /emul/freebsd/sbin/vmware-guestd --background /var/run/vmware-guestd.pid --halt-command /sbin/shutdown -p -h now I wonder how does this daemon work? Does it listen at some TCP or UDP port maybe? $ fstat |grep vmware root vmware-guestd 26568 wd / 2 drwxr-xr-x r 512 root vmware-guestd 26568 0 / 728803 crw-rw-rw- rw null root vmware-guestd 26568 1 / 728803 crw-rw-rw- rw null root vmware-guestd 26568 2 / 728803 crw-rw-rw- rw null root vmware-guestd 26568 3 pipe 0xd3e63048 state: root vmware-guestd 26568 4 pipe 0xd3e63048 state: $ netstat -an | grep LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.5432 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.139 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.445 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.22 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.443 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.37 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.13 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.113 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 *.80 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.587 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.25 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 ::1.5432 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 *.22 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 *.443 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 *.37 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 *.13 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 *.113 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 ::1.587 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 ::1.25 *.* LISTEN Does anybody know? The vmware-guestd daemon can't be that complicated, maybe I could replace it by a Perl-script, if I knew how does it get the "signal" that the host is about to shutdown...
