Yes, that is an option, although we would've liked to limit the number of dependencies. If everything can done from vbox's API, it's simpler for us: no need to find out the IP addresses of the guest and such. Also, there's no need to configure a ssh server on the machine: I had trouble running some programs through open-ssh over cygwin for some versions of windows. An alternative would be for us to write our own daemon and run it on the guest (and not be bound by cygwin induced bugs), but that's not really one of our priorities :) The VIX API vmware exposes such operations and takes these burdens of us. -- . ..: Lucian _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
