Disable a VMware Tools Script

Default scripts for suspending and resuming a virtual machine are written to work together. If you disable the script for one of these actions, you must also disable the script for the other action.
On Linux, Solaris, and FreeBSD guest operating systems, to test, edit, or disable the running of a script, log in as root.
You cannot run scripts on NetWare, Windows NT, Me, Windows 98, and Windows 95 guest operating systems.
  1. Open a command prompt or terminal in the guest operating system.
  2. Change to the VMware Tools installation directory.
