How to automatically shut-down VMWare before SD backup?
Is there a simple way to do this? My VMWare is already configured to save state before quitting. All I want is a way for SuperDuper to ask VMWare to quit (and wait for the quit) before it runs its backup.
Separately, I am getting an "must be unlocked" error when my scheduled SD job tries to run. If I run it manually I have to type in credentials. How do I set up the scheduled job to not require manual intervention? Thanks! |

Well, you could try to use a before-copy shell script to do it. You'd want to run an Applescript that would send a "quit" event to VMWare. The script would look something like
Code:
#!/bin/sh osascript /path/to/the/applescript Code:
tell application "VMWare" to quit

Or embed the AppleScript directly in the shell script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh osascript -e 'tell application "VMWare" to quit' |
#4

Nope, that should work as well, but I was replying on my phone and couldn't remember the "-e".
