Summary: vmtoolsd doesn't respond to signals

Initial Comment:
Start vmtoolsd --background foo.pid. Try to kill it with kill `foo.pid` or by manually finding the pid in ps. 

Actual behavior: It keeps running
Expected behavior: It stops.

Same happens when you run it in foreground - Ctrl-C in console doesn't help.
