PIDFile=/var/lock/subsys/vmware-workstation-server etc/systemd/system/rvice ĮxecStart=/etc/init.d/vmware-workstation-server startĮxecStop=/etc/init.d/vmware-workstation-server stop Wants=rviceĪfter=rviceĮxecStart=/usr/bin/vmware-networks -startĪdd this service as well, if you want to connect to your VMware Workstation installation from another Workstation Server Console: WantedBy=multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/rvice ĮxecStop=/usr/bin/vmware-usbarbitrator -kill service files ( vmware-usbarbitrator and vmware-networks are also included vmware-workstation AUR with a few differences): (Optional) Instead of using /etc/init.d/vmware ( start|stop|status|restart) and /usr/bin/vmware-usbarbitrator directly to manage the services, you may also use.
