Thanks for the reply Ken.
Pinging the machine was one of the first solutions I thought of, but unfortunately when the VM goes down, ping would just hang. It would not throw any errors I could work with. The same goes for querying a PID on the VM, or querying for a file in a directory using vmrun. They would all just hang and wait for the machine to reboot without throwing errors.
It's not one software that I'm running VMWare. I'm running malware that come into my honeypot in an automated way to get the analysis reports...kind of like threatexpert.com. I can run them in wine, but I need more accurate reports.
Cheers.

nisstat(1M) System Administration Commands nisstat(1M)
NAME
nisstat - report NIS+ server statistics
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/nis/nisstat [-H host] [directory]
DESCRIPTION
The nisstat command queries a NIS+ server for various statistics about its operations. These statistics may vary between implementations
and from release to release. Not all statistics are available from all servers. If you request a statistic from a server that does not sup-
port that statistic, it is never a fatal error. The message "unknown statistic" is returned.
By default, statistics are fetched from the server(s) of the NIS+ directory for the default domain. If directory is specified, servers for
that directory are queried.
Supported statistics for this release are as follows:
root server This reports whether the server is a root server.
NIS compat mode This reports whether the server is running in NIS compat mode.
DNS forwarding in NIS mode This reports whether the server in NIS compat mode will forward host lookup calls to DNS.
security level This reports the security level of this server.
serves directories This lists the directories served by this server.
Operations This statistic returns results in the form: OP=opname:C=calls:E=errors:T=micros Where opname is replaced by
the RPC procedure name or operation, calls is the number of calls to this procedure that have been made
since the server started running. errors is the number of errors that have occurred while processing a
call, and micros is the average time in microseconds to complete the last 16 calls.
Directory Cache This statistic reports the number of calls to the internal directory object cache, the number of hits on
that cache, the number of misses, and the hit rate percentage.
Group Cache This statistic reports the number of calls to the internal NIS+ group object cache, the number of hits on
that cache, the number of misses, and the hit rate percentage.
Static Storage This statistic reports the number of bytes the server has allocated for its static storage buffers.
Dynamic Storage This statistic reports the amount of heap the server process is currently using.
Uptime This statistic reports the time since the service has been running.
Per-server and per-directory access restrictions may apply. See nisopaccess(1). nisstat uses NIS_STATUS.
OPTIONS
-H host Normally all servers for the directory are queried. With this option, only the machine named host is queried. If the named
machine does not serve the directory, no statistics are returned.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
NIS_PATH If this variable is set, and the NIS+ directory name is not fully qualified, each directory specified will be
searched until the directory is found. See nisdefaults(1).
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWnisu |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
SEE ALSO
nisdefaults(1), nisopaccess(1), attributes(5)
NOTES
NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the SolarisTM Operating Environment. Tools to aid the migration from NIS+ to LDAP are
available in the Solaris 9 operating environment. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html.
