For remotely executing a command, you can use the vbox guestproperty API. Inside the vm, check out "VBoxControl guestproperty" command. Basically, the vm waiting for a property that contains a path for execution, and your host set this property. The guest vm launches the program when the guest property arrives. For file copy/paste, u can try to use a temp folder that's mapped to vm using shared folders. then operate the file. We have implemented both of these functions internally, feel free if u need more info.

I'm working on an open-source application that tests homework submitted by students at my faculty. The current setup uses vmware (the VIX API support the kind of operations I enumerated above) and we're looking into switching to virtualbox. -- . ..: Lucian _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
