Exec vmware_config_tools

[cdenneen]

This Exec runs on every puppet run.
Is there a way to verify if everything is okay and add to only if option?

Trying to cleanup changes perceived by puppet in reports.

The Exec is defined in vmwaretools::config_tools and checks for the existence of /lib/modules/${::kernelrelease}/misc/vmci.ko - I've had issues before trying to find a marker to determine if the tools have been installed properly or not (see #9, #14, #25).

I've officially drawn a blank when trying to come up with a file (ideally unique to the running kernel that is installed by only the distributed versions of VMware Tools (i.e. not the OSP or open-vm-tools) packages.

I'll close this as wontfix for now, by please do feel free to fork/commit or suggest your own improvements!
