How to install the cron tool
Hi all
I have a 4.0i VSphere client (build-171294).
I need to install a cron like tool.
I want to know how to install it. Can install it in the form of a RPM.
Thank you and best regards,
Vivek
As mention by Dave and David,.
What are you trying to program which requires cron? Remember, ESXi! = ESX, it doesn't have a Console of Service, where theres no concept of RPM, it isn't same RHEL
If you walk down the path to unlock the busybox unsupported console, you can configure the cron... entries you do not need tools such as crontab if you understand how cron works and the entry for root cron which is stored under/var/spool/cron/root and this can be changed and you will have to do a special safeguard to make sure it persists restarts.
I recommend establishing a scheduled task / cron outside the ESXi host if you run scripts premises/etc. in this unsupported environment, which allows greater flexibility and less mucking around in console busybox
If you're just talking about general scheduled task, depending on whether you are using a version under license or not, you may be able to create schedule tasks by using the vSphere API through vSphere DSK for Perl, PowerCLI, or any other means by program/script.

How to install the virtual machine tools
I am new to this, and it's fun to find how to do everything. I'm stuck now, so need some help, I did search but could not find definitive answers.
I have ESXi installation, it will run on a dedicated slide. I have a windows-based virtual machine that I use to test.
I downloaded the iso of VM Tools for Linux to install on the server so that I can push to the client virtual machines. I can't understand how to install the VM on the server tools so that I have the option in the console to push to turn the VM to the client tools.
Is there something I'm completely missing? The iso is for linux, which is the server. I assumed it would be installed on the server that would allow me to push to windows clients.
Help, please!
VMware tools for Windows is already included in the installation of ESX.
Customer Infrastructure using, go to the console of the virtual Windows computer and logon. Right-click of the virtual machine in the inventory on the left, then select "install/upgrade VMware tools. If Autorun is enabled the installation starts automatically, if not the Windows.iso is loaded into the virtual computer CD-ROM drive and you have to run setup.exe.

Tools & Utilities CD does not work with Win7,Hello
I m wondering that you have installed Windows 7 on this good old classic. In my opinion Windows XP would be the best choice, but ok, you can do what you want ;)
Anyway, AFAIK your laptop is equipped with an Intel graphics card then I recommend to download the driver form Intel directly because the Web from Toshiba site displays only the Windows XP display drivers.

How to install the latest version of the BIOS Tecra m2
How to install the latest BIOS P000Bv160 on a M2. install toshiba BIOS instructions say to use a floppy disk, but the file size is 1.48 MB so not fit on a 1.44 MB diskette. can I use a USB?
Are you sure that you have read the statement on the right?
AFAIK it's win-BIOS version (windows version) and not a version TRAD (traditional), so the update of the BIOS must be running OS.
There should be an exe file that must be executed to start the update of the BIOS!
Please check the instruction again!

How to install the version of nor-Sync 3.1 in the remote system (processor integrated PXI chassis) to recognize the PXI-6682 device to work with labview RT?
Hung Nguyen
Hung Nguyen,
The installation of drivers for all targets in real-time remotely is more or less the same. First install the driver (in your case the NO-Sync) on your PC, then install it on your system remotely through MAX. For step-by-step instructions, see install the software on your NI CompactRIO controller.
