Currently my way is use the share folder,in the guest OS:
echo "">/mnt/hgfs/share/sleep
Then on the host write a program to monitor whether the file "sleep" exist and execute sleep action.
For power down,the program monitor vmware-vmx.exe,when it disappears,it shutdown the computer.
The C# program is like:
class ShutdownComputer
{
//true for sleep,false for shutdown
static bool sleep = true;
static public void ShutdownComputerDo()
{
string[] process_names = new string[]
{
"vmware-vmx",
};
while (true)
{
bool done = true;
string sleep_signal_fn = @"C:VMachineVM_Ubuntu14.04sharesleep";
if (sleep)
{
done = File.Exists(sleep_signal_fn);
if (done) File.Delete(sleep_signal_fn);
}
else
{
foreach (string pn in process_names)
{
if (Process.GetProcessesByName(pn).Length > 0) done = false;
}
}
if (done)
{
var psi=sleep?
new ProcessStartInfo("rundll32.exe", " powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0")
: new ProcessStartInfo("shutdown", "/s /t 0");
psi.CreateNoWindow = true;
psi.UseShellExecute = false;
Process.Start(psi);
if (!sleep) break;
}
Thread.Sleep(5 * 1000);
}
}
}
Although it works,are there any easier ways?
