Re: Installing open-vm-vmtools with only guestd & required modules for guestd

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

thats why i use "--without-kernel-modules"
i am running Fedora 17/18 and do only need the vmtoolsd
for VMwareHA and to freeze the FS for VMware-Data-Recovery
because recent kernels have the vmware-drivers upstream

my sysv-init times are long ago, so i have only the systemd-unit

[root@buildserver:~]$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/vmtoolsd.service
[Unit]

Description=open-vm-tools

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vmtoolsd
Restart=always
RestartSec=2
TimeoutStopSec=1

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
