Hi,
Thank you for your report.
I just ran the foreground test down here with Vimarun disabled and Workstation's "keep the VM running" checkbox checked.
Can confirm that having a VM running in the foreground and subsequently logging off does stop the VM. In my case it suspended the VM, not shut it down.
Is this expected behavior? I guess so as Vimarun does not currently handle log off situations, it only acts on shut down.
That does not mean this use case can't be added, but I do need some time before I can look into that.
It is VMware Workstation here that is initiating the suspend/shutdown and it would be nice if the VM would continue to run in the background. Note that vimarun would not be able to stop the suspend/shutdown, but it could check for the suspend/shut down status after the log off and resume/start up the VM in the background.
This also means that vimarun should then bring the VM from the background back to the foreground on logging in.
