The file will be checked when the service starts. So for the removal to take effect, you need to restart the vmtools service (it may depend on how your distro packages it; for the VMware distribution, it's generally /etc/init.d/vmware-tools restart). To restore the functionality, same thing: place the file back there and restart the service. -- - Marcelo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
