511 error connecting to /usr/sbin/vmware-serverd

From MyWiki

If you get this error when trying to connect from the Vmware Console or the MUI web interface (also root will get emails every hour from the status.pl monitor process):

ps -efl | grep vmware-serverd
kill -9 XXX
service xinitd restart
service httpd.vmware restart

This allows connection without restarting all of the individual VMs.
