hello world!
i'm relatively new to this whole vm-thingy, but i'll try to explain my problem:
let's say i have a suse linux machine running a vmware xp guest os. linux runs a program called a render client. it receives a command via tcp/ip and launches the corresponding application on linux including commandline switches and paths. after the process of the launched app quits (because it's done rendering) the render client sends back a signal to it's render manager (running somewhere else on the network) and waits for the next job to process.
now this is what i want to do, i don't know if it's possible with vmware:
i want my render client on linux to pass commands that it receives to the windows shell of the xp guest os.
here again, a little more specific:
i have a render manager running on my network called "renderpal". it sends commands to all of it's clients and the clients launch their "job". let's say i'm running apple shake on linux and it's doing the distributed rendering of large frame sequences for me. now i have autodesk combustion running on the windows guest os. is there a way to pass the linux renderpal client command to the guest os app combustion?
help is greatly appreciated!
