Detecting programs

The sm_plist utility identifies all VMware Smart Assurance programs that are running for any product on your machine. You can use the sm_plist utility whenever you need to identify VMware Smart Assurance programs that are running (for example, before applying a service pack or patch and uninstalling the product software).

To use the utility, invoke itfrom the BASEDIR/smarts/script directory. The utility displays active programs in a window:

1. Go to the BASEDIR/smarts/script directory.

2. Start the sm_plist utility:

   On RHEL/CentOS, enter

                  ./sm_plist.sh
                  <BASEDIR2>
                  cscript sm_plist.vbs
                  <BASEDIR2>
