I am following this guide to set up a Virtual Appliance using JeOS: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOS

*

I run in to a problem with this command: sudo ./vmware-install.pl

*

When I run it I get a prompt to define the location of killall (which I cannot find on my JeOS installation).

*

A such the installation of VMWareTools is terminated.

*

Shouldn't killall be a part of the actual installation as part of the shutdown sequence?

*

Seems like I must be missing something really obvious here?

You need to install the "psmisc" package:


$ dpkg -S killall
sysvutils: /usr/share/man/man8/killall5.8.gz
psmisc: /usr/bin/killall
sysvutils: /sbin/killall5
psmisc: /usr/share/man/man1/killall.1.gz
