description="VGAuth guest authentication service for open-vm-tools"

# "-s" is service mode: the process stays in the foreground and logs to a file,
# which is what vgauthd.service relies on (it is a plain Type=simple unit), so
# OpenRC daemonizes it and owns the pidfile.  The binary also accepts "-b",
# which forks by itself, but that path writes a pid lock file at a path
# hardcoded in vgauth/service/main.c (/var/run/vmware/vgauthsvclog_pid.txt) that
# the service manager does not control -- a stale file there blocks a restart.
