I was wondering if anyone could tell me a little more about VMWare tools quiescence. I'm talking about how vmware tools will automatically run the scripts;
/usr/sbin/pre-freeze-script /usr/sbin/post-thaw-script
Does anyone know how these are run and by whom? i.e. does vmware tools create a console session and run as the user we installed vmware tools with i.e. root?
Thanks
