- VMware Command Line Tools
On this page, you’ll find command line programs which can replace and/or supplement the VMware’s official VMwareTools. Although they come in most handy on guest operating systems to which no VMwareTools is provided (such as DOS)

Hmm, I'm sure that vmware tools does exist for Solaris.

Hi Ceri, ah - you're quite right - I copied the top para from the linked page into del.icio.us, which dutifully posted it to my blog - it is out of date - I'll go correct it.
You can indeed install VMware tools on Solaris (in fact, I blogged about it previously, here - http://blogs.sun.com/superpat/entry/yay_vmware_workstation_5_5 ) - but these unofficial tools do still give you some additional capability.

Ceri - I missed a couple of words from that last comment - thank you! :-)
