    Shell command in monowall upon boot


    How do I start vmware-tools everytime monowall starts?

    1)
    login to the webinterface.
    2)
    Make a backup of the configuration, the output is a XML file.
    3)
    Edit the XML file in a texteditor. Make the changes and upload it to the firewall.
    4)
    monowall reboots

    Configuration file:
    You can insert the shell command inside <shellcmd and </shellcmd>
    The whole thing has to be placed after </webgui> and before </system>

    Se the example below:

    </webgui>
    <dnsserver>10.0.0.100</dnsserver>
    <dnsserver>10.0.0.101</dnsserver>
    <shellcmd>vmware-guestd –background /var/run/guestd.pid</shellcmd>
    </system>
