CentOS VM: Determine whether Anaconda has completed

I'm using VSphere to spin up a series of virtual machines with CentOS 6.5 as the OS.

I'd like to be able to tell, in a bash script, once the OS installation has completed. I've tried using ping, but that returns true while Anaconda is still running.

Is there a way using either bash or the VSphere API to determine whether the OS installation is complete?

Maybe touch a marker file in the %post script?
