ListProcessesInGuest doesn't display command line in 64bit VM

sebqc — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 16:39:03 GMT

Hello all,

I don't know if there's a reason or it's a bug, but If I run

> vmrun -T ws -gu guestUser -gp guestPassword listProcessesInGuest VM.vmx

32bit VM will display the command line and 64bit VM will only display the name of the executable.

Example:

> vmrun -T ws -gu guestUser -gp guestPassword listProcessesInGuest 32bitVM.vmx
