vmware unit files for systemd

vmware-modules currently does not install systemd unit files. With the decision of the gnome herd to migrate to systemd there is no way to start the vmware service with /etc/init.d/vmware start if you are running systemd.

I found vmware target and service files on arch and modified them to work which only involved changing some /usr/bin to /opt/vmware/bin.

If you need to use this now:

unpack to /etc/systemd/system

ln -s /etc/systemd/system/vmware.target /usr/lib/systemd/system/vmware.target

if you wish to start automtically:

systemctl enable vmware.target

to start manually

systemctl start vmware.target

Are this unit files from you or inherited from any distribution? Also, I cannot file the equivalent init.d files being provided by app-emulation/vmware-modules
Comment 2 Harris Landgarten 2013-07-20 13:49:40 UTC
they were done by an arch user originally but I modified them for gentoo.

look at /etc/init.d/vmware

That does all the same things

BTW I am playing with running vmware-workstation in its own scope in the machine.slice
