Hi LucD,
The example you gave gives the state of the vmwaretools (needs upgrade..etc...), but does not show if it is running or not. Can that even be done?
So what im getting at is: lets say I put toether a script that many things. and lets say powering up a vm followed by updating vmwareools is done.
The updating of vmwaretools will fail if the vm is not fully powered up and the vmwaretool driver is not running yet. This is why I was wondering if there was a way to query that like you see in vcenter.
the only way I can think of solving it is by placing a long sleep between actions, this seems to be a hack solution but I may have to do that...
