I am trying to use the vmrun command line utility to force the shutdown of a running virtual machine under Vmware Server 2.
The host system is Suse 10 and the guest is Wndows Server 2000. I am using the datastore syntax for the command. I have checked the command a dozen times and am sure I have made no error in syntax.
The guest machine is hardware version 4 and I have the latest vmware tools for server 2 installed in the guest.
When I run the command it begins by initiating guest shutdown, but then does nothing afterwards. When I open a console window to the guest it is sitting there as if its just logged off. Memory for the guest is 512mg.
any thoughts out there?
