no, because the "ExecStop" needs to be called as root
and if i change the lines in the ExecStart-Script to du "su"
vmrun refuses to work, this is the only way to get the vmx-processes
started as user "vmware" and the "ExecStop" as root because this
has to suspend also machines running with different useraccounts

can you please explain why?

finally i want to get "ExecStart" command called after sysv-vmware-service
at boot and "ExecStop" during shutdown without interrupt BEFORE sysv-vmware
is stopped to wake up default guests at boot time and suspend ALL running
guest ina clean state at shutdown

in which way i exactly can achieve this does not matter, it has to be 100%
stable finally to not damage guests over the long
