When the open-vm-tools are built with procps, the guestinfo subsystem in vmware-guestd periodically publishes information about guest memory consumption to the host through the Tools backdoor. This information isn't used in any of our current products, but is likely to be used in a future product. So it's safe to say that for the time being, it doesn't add any value. One of these days we'll find the time to document all of this stuff. On a related note, would anyone like to help with documentation? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
