I launch my guest virtual machine with /etc/init.d/vmware start and it works correct. But when I turn them off, the init.d script says my VMWare isn't configured. The actual vmware initscript (/etc/vmware/init.d/vmwware) works correctly as intended, but the wrapper initscript (/etc/init.d/vmware) does not. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /etc/init.d/vmware start and start some virtual machine if the init.d script didn't do so 2. /etc/init.d/vmware stop Actual Results: root@otera ~ # /etc/init.d/vmware stop Password: * Stopping VMware virtual machines... * Stopping VMware services: * Virtual machine monitor done * Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done * DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1 done * Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1 done * DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8 done * NAT service on /dev/vmnet8 done * Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8 done * Virtual ethernet done * VMware is not properly configured!

Hi Boris, I've fixed up the offending vmware-server.rc. I'm marking this as fixed, but please wait a couple of hours, resync, rebuild vmware-server and then give it a test. If there are any issues, please reopen the bug and report them here... 5:)
New vmware-server.rc indeed works. I tested with app-emulation/vmware-server-1.0.2.39867
Reopening bug to mark as resolved for housekeeping.
