  Using open-vm-tools/xenial,now 2:10.2.0-3ubuntu0.16.04.1~ppa6 amd64
  [installed], subprocesses started by vim.vm.guest.ProcessManager fail
  to create temporary files.

  Summary:
  * When running subprocesss through open-vm-tools 2:10.2.0-3ubuntu0.16.04.1 
(via vim.vm.guest.ProcessManager), subprocesses crash while trying to write 
temporary files.
  * Subprocesses run correctly when executed directly from the shell
  * Subprocesses execute correctly from open-vm-tools 
open-vm-tools-10.2.0-7253323, when compiled from source

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install open-vm-tools/xenial 2:10.2.0-3ubuntu0.16.04.1~ppa6 on a VMWare 
ESX 6.5 16.04 guest
  2. Using VMOMI API, start a child process that relies on temporary files (eg. 
`apt-get update`)
  3. Note the error code on the child process (eg. 100)
  4. Run process directly from guest shell (eg. `apt-get update`)
  5. Note the successful return code on the child process (1)

  Logs from vmtoolsd on guest:

  Subprocesses of StartProgramInGuest fail when creating temporary files

Bug description:
  Using open-vm-tools/xenial,now 2:10.2.0-3ubuntu0.16.04.1~ppa6 amd64
  [installed], subprocesses started by vim.vm.guest.ProcessManager fail
  to create temporary files.

  Summary:
  * When running subprocesss through open-vm-tools 2:10.2.0-3ubuntu0.16.04.1 
(via vim.vm.guest.ProcessManager), subprocesses crash while trying to write 
temporary files.
  * Subprocesses run correctly when executed directly from the shell
  * Subprocesses execute correctly from open-vm-tools 
open-vm-tools-10.2.0-7253323, when compiled from source

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install open-vm-tools/xenial 2:10.2.0-3ubuntu0.16.04.1~ppa6 on a VMWare 
ESX 6.5 16.04 guest
  2. Using VMOMI API, start a child process that relies on temporary files (eg. 
`apt-get update`)
  3. Note the error code on the child process (eg. 100)
  4. Run process directly from guest shell (eg. `apt-get update`)
  5. Note the successful return code on the child process (1)

  Logs from vmtoolsd on guest:

  Psuedo code using pyVMOMI API to start a child process:
  
  #!/usr/bin/python
  import re
  import time
  from pyVim import connect
  from pyVmomi import vim, vmodl

  service_instance = connect.SmartConnectNoSSL(host=,
  user=,
  pwd=,
  port=443)
  content = service_instance.RetrieveContent()

  vm = content.searchIndex.FindByIp(datacenter=None,
ip=,
vmSearch=True)

  creds = vim.vm.guest.NamePasswordAuthentication(
  username="root", password=
  )

  pm = content.guestOperationsManager.processManager
  ps = vim.vm.guest.ProcessManager.ProgramSpec(
 programPath="/usr/bin/apt-get",
 arguments="update"
  )
  res = pm.StartProgramInGuest(vm, creds, ps)
  pid_exitcode = pm.ListProcessesInGuest(vm, creds,
 [res]).pop().exitCode
  while re.match('[^0-9]+', str(pid_exitcode)):
  time.sleep(5)
  pid_exitcode = pm.ListProcessesInGuest(vm, creds,
 [res]).pop().exitCode
  if pid_exitcode == 0:
  print("Program %d completed with success" % res)
  break
  # Look for non-zero code to fail
  elif re.match('[1-9]+', str(pid_exitcode)):
  print("ERROR: Program apt-get completed with Failure %s" % 
pid_exitcode)
