This will redirect the output of ifconfig to a file on the guest, then copy that file to the host. It also cleans up the file, just to be tidy.

Return all IPs for running VMs

If you want to do this through vmrun on VMware Server 2, then you can do the following:

vmrun -T server -h https://myserver/sdk -u root -p passwd -gu root -gp passwd runProgramInGuest "[standard] test/SLES10sp1.vmx" /bin/sh "/sbin/ifconfig > /tmp/ip-info.txt"
vmrun -T server -h https://myserver/sdk -u root -p passwd -gu root -gp passwd copyFileFromGuestToHost "[standard] test/SLES10sp1.vmx" /tmp/ip-info.txt /host/path/ip-info.txt"
vmrun -T server -h https://myserver/sdk -u root -p passwd -gu root -gp passwd deleteFileInGuest "[standard] test/SLES10sp1.vmx" /tmp/ip-info.txt

This will redirect the output of ifconfig to a file on the guest, then copy that file to the host. It also cleans up the file, just to be tidy.
