The power state of a VMware Server virtual machine can be changed either from within the guest operating system itself (for example by initiating the operating system's own shutdown command from within the VMware Remote Console) or by using the VI Web Access interface.
In addition to the scripts outlined above, an additional mechanism is provided on Linux, Solaris and FreeBSD guests for executing commands when a virtual machine is either shut down or rebooted. These are specified in the ''/etc/vmware-tools.conf'' file using the '''halt-command =''' and '''reboot-command = ''' directives.
