John or Ravindra, We need directions on how to test this patch. Thanks! Hi Ravindra JinYan,
Follow the document "Configuring appInfo", I run command vmware-rpctool "info-get guestinfo.appInfo" and vmtoolsd --cmd "info-get guestinfo.appInfo", both of two command I have tried on our guest, after run these command, then could list all application in guest. it seems like below:
[root@vm-197-32 ~]# vmware-rpctool "info-get guestinfo.appInfo" |grep firefox
{"a":"firefox","v":""},
{"a":"firefox","v":""},
{"a":"firefox","v":""},
{"a":"firefox","v":""},
{"a":"firefox","v":""},
Also tried command vmware-toolbox-cmd config set appinfo poll-interval xx(value) and vmware-toolbox-cmd config set appinfo disabled true, except these functional test, do you have any other test cases to cover this feature?
Thanks very mcuh!
Lili Du

Can you share us the patch file? so that I can do some testing in our test environment. Yan Jin Just test as described in https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tools/11.0.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vmwaretools.doc/GUID-3A8089F6-CAF6-43B9-BD9D-B1081F8D64E2.html. Additionally, ensure that following command returns no value when you set the poll-interval to 0 or disable the appInfo plugin: $ vmtoolsd --cmd “info-get guestinfo.appInfo” Please advise if you need help testing, but you would need to provide us access to build to test. -John @Ravindra,@YanJin,@John, Thanks very much! I had tried command set the poll-interval to 0 or disable the appInfo plugin, indeed no value return. @YanJin, I have upload the test build to link http://people.redhat.com/ldu/rpm/ This test build is for RHEL7, you can download and try it, if any problem, please contact me freely! BRs, Lili Du Hi Lili, Thanks for sharing the open-vm-tools packages for RHEL 7. I have done my testing for appinfo, did not hit any issue about AppInfo feature. My test Env: VM: RHEL 7.8 RC (covering Minimal & Server with GUI) + provided open-vm-tools 11.0.5 from http://people.redhat.com/ldu/rpm/. Host: ESXi 6.5 GA and 6.7U3 In the VM 1. set poll-interval in /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf like below [appinfo] disabled = false poll-interval = 10 2. start some new processes or kill some existing processes 3. check with command "ps aux | grep xxx" From ESXi host 1. check AppInfo by running following 2 commands in the ESXi shell: ## Get the VMID for the tested VM # vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms ## Get AppInfo for the tested VM # vim-cmd vmsvc/get.config <VMID> | grep xxx From both sides the listed Apps are the same. =========================================== But I get a warning by rpm install the provided open-vm-tools # rpm -i open-vm-tools-11.0.5-2.el7.cavery202003040731.x86_64.rpm /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.693dNa: line 1: ?ldconfig: command not found @YanJin, Thanks very much for your test! For the warning message, indeed it also have when install with yum. Cathy, Could you help check this "/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.EM0IFG: line 1: ?ldconfig: command not found" message?

[root@vm-197-198 ~]# (In reply to ldu from comment #8) > Cathy, > Could you help check this "/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.EM0IFG: line 1: ?ldconfig: > command not found" message? It is either complaining about ldconfig (glibc rpm) not being installed or that there is a bogus command to ldconfig. Could you see if glibc is installed and what the rev is? @Ravindra could you take a look at the error message they are getting. It looks like there is a package dependency issue. Thanks, Cathy This commit https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/open-vm-tools/c/4f1758de5373a88d7a944241741ee309383bc476?branch=f27 added that macro. In Fedora 28+ these are not needed. We need to remove these going forward from Fedora. However, we need these for RHEL 7.x. Could you please replace "%{?ldconfig}" lines with "/sbin/ldconfig" and try? This will also need following dependencies: Requires(post): /sbin/ldconfig Requires(postun): /sbin/ldconfig Is the new package working fine for RHEL 8?

Could you please send a patch? Cathy Hi Cathy, As our test build is for RHEL7, could you help build one test build for RHEL8? I can help test it to avoid regression issue!

The command get appinfo all works well, disable the appInfo plugin also works. There is no warning message /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.EM0IFG: line 1: ?ldconfig: command not found on RHEL8. Thanks, Lili Du Patch has been supplied. Verified this bug with open-vm-tools-11.0.5-3.el8. All appinfo test case passed. So change status to verified.
