Default scripts for suspending and resuming a virtual machine are written to work together. If you disable the script for one of these actions, you must also disable the script for the other action.

Note: You cannot run scripts on NetWare, Windows NT, Me, Windows 98, and Windows 95 guest operating systems.

Prerequisites

On Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD guest operating systems, to test, edit, or disable the running of a script, log in as root.

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt or terminal in the guest operating system.
  2. Change to the VMware Tools installation directory.
