Yes, the guest shutdown seems to still be working. I've tested both |
| 8 |
manual (i.e. asking for a guest shutdown) and it works, and I've set up |
| 9 |
my APC ups to shutdown the host and all VMs, again all working. If |

you're interested in the howtos for the APC shutdown I think I have a |

bookmark around somewhere. |

Yes, as far as I can tell. Seems I can't copy and paste to/from my local |
| 17 |
clipboard though when in vSphere. Maybe that's what's broken. SSH gets |
| 18 |
me around that. |

So far it seems to be harmless. I put syslog-ng in the boot runlevel so |
| 30 |
it doesn't clutter up the service startup. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I've tried an emerge -euDN world on one of the VMs with no results so |
| 33 |
I'm pretty sure that it's something in the open-vm-tools package that's |
| 34 |
not quite right. I also tried enabling VMCI to a VM to test, still no-go. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
If you google it apparently it's cluttering up Windows event logs too, |
| 37 |
it's not just linux guests. |
