Since this has been fixed in the current development Ubuntu release, I'm
closing this ticket, but leaving it open against Hardy.

Shutdown guest using the VI Client with VMware ESX 3.0.2 doesn't work
Err, scratch that - open-vm-tools was removed from Hardy, so there's not
really anything left to fix here.

the problem with the VM ware tools package is that it's missing some
very important components, specifically:
poweroff-vm-default
resume-vm-default
poweron-vm-default
suspend-vm-default
there may be something else missing for invoking the scripts but, I
haven't figured out what it is yet.
according to the documentation on the open-VM-tools website, the four
default files listed above should be placed into /etc/vmware-tools with
the execute bit turned on (555 seems to work). Initial, admittedly very
brief testing reset and suspend appear to work. What's still missing is
the VM
