Workaround for Ubuntu guest suspension warning in VMware Fusion

I see this error when I try to suspend an Ubuntu 10 guest in Fusion:

The request to Suspend this virtual machine failed because the corresponding VMware Tools script did not run successfully.

If you have configured a custom suspend script in this virtual machine, make sure that it contains no errors. Attempting the operation again will ignore the script failure. You can also submit a support request to report this issue.

As the dialog states, the second time you try to suspend the VM it ignores the non-zero return code of the script and it seems to work. But it's annoying.

The problem appears to not be VMware actually, but Ubuntu (or Ubuntu's service script). I tried to figure out where exactly Ubuntu's initctl configuration/scripts is broken to no avail but found a work-around that I'm happy with.

LiveReload compatibility hack for Webassets
Tested with LiveReload 2.3.18
The only requirement is that the updating requests are sent with ?livereload={etc} in the url.
LiveReload should be configured to NOT compile the assets, as we want webassets to take care of this. We're
just using LR for the notification/loading parts.
