Dear Maintainer,

I submit that bug as important although I could submit it as grave too.

The stop section of the init script is not workingg. The following line is
faulty:

sid:~# bash -x /etc/init.d/open-vm-tools stop
<snip>
+ start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --retry=TERM/30/KILL/5 --pidfile 
/var/run/vmtoolsd.pid --exec vmtoolsd
start-stop-daemon: unable to stat //vmtoolsd (No such file or directory)

man start-stop-daemon

       -x, --exec executable
              Check  for  processes that are instances of this executable. The
              executable argument should be an absolute pathname.  Note: this
              might not work as intended with interpreted scripts, as the exe‐
              cutable will point to the interpreter. Take  into  account pro‐
              cesses  running  from  inside  a chroot will also be matched, so
              other match restrictions might be needed.

Aftre replacing "--exec vmtoolsd" by "--exec /usr/bin/vmtoolsd" the script
works fine.
