Hi Adler, I lack an env to repro but looking through search engines I think you want to check what the guest has in:
$ find /etc/vmware-tools/scripts Check if the files there have the exec bit set (and add it if not) - I found reports of those being lost triggering the issue. You likely have only: /etc/vmware-tools/scripts/vmware/network You can test how it reacts to events by: $ bash -x /etc/vmware-tools/scripts/vmware/network poweron-vm; echo $? $ bash -x /etc/vmware-tools/scripts/vmware/network suspend-vm; echo $? $ bash -x /etc/vmware-tools/scripts/vmware/network resume-vm; echo $? If in your case the first (or others) fail we'd need to debug why.
