Hi.
I'm running Workstation v6.5.1 on a 32-bit Windows XP host.
The following script to close down all running guests works, except for one problem:
for /f "usebackq skip=1" %%i in (`"c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmrun" list`) do "c:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmrun" stop %%i soft
When this script stops a 32-bit Ubuntu 8.04 guest, it succeeds, but an open e-mail client in the guest registers a crash condition which it recovers from when the guest is re-started.
This doesn't happen if the Ubuntu guest is shutdown by hand from within the guest; the open e-mail client terminates gracefully and doesn't register a crash condition.
The lastest VMware-tools are installed in the guest.
Somehow the 'soft' argument in the script isn't working for this guest. It should make the shutdown the same as shutting the guest down manually.
Is this a bug which I should report, or user error?
Many thanks,
--Pete
