Package: open-vm-tools
Version: 2:9.2.2-893683-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I submit that bug as important although I could submit it as grave too.
The stop section of the init script is not workingg. The following line is
faulty:
sid:~# bash -x /etc/init.d/open-vm-tools stop
<snip>
+ start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --retry=TERM/30/KILL/5 --pidfile
/var/run/vmtoolsd.pid --exec vmtoolsd
start-stop-daemon: unable to stat //vmtoolsd (No such file or directory)
man start-stop-daemon
-x, --exec executable
Check for processes that are instances of this executable. The
executable argument should be an absolute pathname. Note: this
might not work as intended with interpreted scripts, as the exe‐
cutable will point to the interpreter. Take into account pro‐
cesses running from inside a chroot will also be matched, so
other match restrictions might be needed.
Aftre replacing "--exec vmtoolsd" by "--exec /usr/bin/vmtoolsd" the script
works fine.
Hilmar
