Delay of open-vm-tools quiescing scripts execution during VMware snapshot creation.

Issue

The wrapper scripts pre-freeze-script and post-thaw-script take about 5 minutes each to complete when started by VMware snapshot creation procedure.
The same scripts finish in 20 seconds when running manually.
