The VMware Guest Operating System
Service
When you install VMware Tools in a virtual machine, the VMware guest operating
system service is one of the primary components installed. The guest service can do
the following:
Execute commands in the virtual machine when it is requested to halt or reboot
the guest operating system.
Gracefully power off and reset a virtual machine.
Send a heartbeat to ESX Server so that it knows the guest operating system is
running.
Synchronize the time of the guest operating system with the time in the console
operating system.
Pass a string from the console operating system to the guest operating system.
The guest service starts automatically when you boot the guest operating system.
In a Windows guest, the guest service program file is called VMwareService.exe.
For help information, right-click the VMware Tools icon in the system tray and choose
Help.
In a Linux guest, the guest service is called vmware-guestd. To display help about
the guest service, including a list of all options, use the following command:
/etc/vmware/vmware-guestd --help
