Does VMWare Tools store a log when called via SDK

Hello,

I am preparing a blueprint with Linux machines.

Basic information has to be configured, inclusive joining it to the domain. I am going to do this with a bash script on the Linux by using the VMWare Tools API,

processManager.startProgramInGuest(vm , guestAuth , guestProgramSpec);

The script will be called with a parameters about domain, user and password for the user to join with.

My concern is, that the command called via VMWare Tools, e.g. the password in clear text, is stored in some log file on the Linux machine.

Is this the case - is the command stored in any log?

Or what is a better approch for such domain join?

Thanks and regards, Kjeld
