Prevent creation of vmmem files in VMware (Windows)

Issue

VMWare creates .vmem files to back the guest RAM. On the host this causes disk thrashing especially during powering on and off the guest.

Solution

Add the following lines to the .vmx file to prevent creation of .vmem files. This will reduce disk IO and VM performance will improve especially on non-SSD disks.

Killing supervisor if any of it's child processes fail

The trick is to only register the listener for events that indicate failure, namely

• PROCESS_STATE_STOPPED
• PROCESS_STATE_EXITED
• PROCESS_STATE_FATAL

Once they do, we should send a SIGQUIT to Supervisor.

perl -e 'do{print("perl> ");$_x=<>;chomp $_x;print(eval($_x)."\n")}while($_x ne "q")'
