Properties
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
arguments | xsd:string |
The arguments to the program. In Linux and Solaris guest operating
systems, the program will be executed by a guest shell.
This allows stdio redirection, but may also
require that characters which must be escaped to the shell also
be escaped on the command line provided.
For Windows guest operating systems, prefixing the command with
"cmd /c" can provide stdio redirection.
|
envVariables* | xsd:string[] |
An array of environment variables, specified
in the guest OS notation (eg PATH=c:\bin;c:\windows\system32
or LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib), to be set for the program
being run. Note that these are not additions to the default
environment variables; they define the complete set available to
the program. If none are specified the values are guest dependent.
|
programPath | xsd:string |
The absolute path to the program to start.
For Linux guest operating systems, /bin/bash is used to start the program.
For Solaris guest operating systems, /bin/bash is used to start
the program if it exists.
Otherwise /bin/sh is used. If /bin/sh is used, then the process ID
returned by StartProgramInGuest will be that of the shell used
to start the program, rather than the program itself, due to the
differences in how /bin/sh and /bin/bash work. This PID will
still be usable for watching the process with
ListProcessesInGuest to
find its exit code and elapsed time.
|
workingDirectory* | xsd:string |
The absolute path of the working directory for the program to be
run. VMware recommends explicitly setting the working directory
for the program to be run. If this value is unset or is an empty
string, the behavior depends on the guest operating system.
For Linux guest operating systems, if this value is unset or is
an empty string, the working directory will be the home directory
of the user associated with the guest authentication.
For other guest operating systems, if this value is unset, the
behavior is unspecified.
