Hello,
I run Win 7 as a guest on vmware workstation on centos 7
Sometimes, my mouse is making trouble.
Pointer is moving, but no chance to make a click ....
Keyboard is working, I am able to open a shell and i.e. to run vmrun list.
Is there a way to shutdown my guest system regularly?
(To send ctrl-alt-del to it?)
Greetings, Holger
Hi,
If VMware Tools is installed in the guest you can ask it to shut down via vmrun.
eg:
vmrun -T ws stop "/home/user/my VMs/myVM.vmx"
more details:
if VMware tools is not installed (or running) then the above command will still shut down your VM, but it will do so as a hard power down, without letting the guest OS know.

control alt insert work as well, I think workstation altered the keycodes in the console if you processed those, so it doesn't matter what os or form its in.
Thank you, I used it once ago...
