Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: guestd Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Jim (pirzyk) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: vmtoolsd fork bombs Initial Comment: Since the 2009.04.23 release of open-vm-tools, vmtoolsd will not stay running and continually spawns new processes. The problem is related to how argument processing is done. Pre 2009.04.23, this would be accepted options and used correctly: vmtoosld --background=/var/run/vmtoolsd.pid at 2009.04.23 and after, it would accept it, but not properly spawn vmtoolsd in the background. My fix was this: vmtoolsd --background /var/run/vmtoolsd.pid vmtoolsd should either handle the single option with a '=' or report an error, not accept it and not work correctly ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Marcelo Vanzin (mvanzin) Date: 2009-09-24 16:45 Message: As a work around until we fix it, using "-b" instead of "--background" shouldn't cause you problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=2865784&group_id=204462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
