I see. Vmware-user reacts to SIGUSR2 by relaunching `vmware-user` executable and our init scripts do send this signal after [re]loading vmblock driver; maybe you could do the same. This assumes that vmware-user in the PATH is a symlink to vmware-user-suid-wrapper: [r...@dtor-frh-i386-vm ~]# ls -la `which vmware-user` lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 52 2009-02-06 10:39 /usr/bin/vmware-user -> /usr/lib/vmware-tools/bin32/vmware-user-suid-wrapper -- Dmitry ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
