There isn't a formal spec that I know of, but from the tools side, all action regarding power scripts happens in the powerOps plugin (source in open-vm-tools/services/plugins/powerOps). The host has to explicitly send a "power op request" to tools for the scripts to run. On Workstation, that would be the "Shut Down Guest" command (while "Power Off" is like pulling the power cord). -- - Marcelo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ open-vm-tools-devel mailing list open-vm-tools-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-vm-tools-devel
