It will run manually, but if it's run inside vmware (as a regular user) the exec'ed 'sh' (/compat/linux/bin/sh) will seg fault and core dump. This doesn't happen when running vmware as root. Everything works as expected if I rename /compat/linux/bin/sh and let it fall though to /bin/sh The command being run is '/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-wizard -- -x' I am guessing it's a permissions or environment problem.. but I am yet to work out what it is exactly. Any suggestions? -- Seeya...Q -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _____ / Quinton Dolan - q@OntheNet.com.au __ __/ / / __/ / / / __ / _/ / / Gold Coast, QLD, Australia __/ __/ __/ ____/ / - / Ph: +61 419 729 806 _______ / _\ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
