I've written a few PHP scripts to do this, so that I can use VirtualBox for a few headless 'virtual private servers'.

If you're interested, the scripts are available at http://oss.ucis.nl/virtualbox/phpvboxd/. You'll probably have to adjust the paths to your setup. You can then symlink/link/copy the init.php script in /etc/init.d, chmod +x, and then install it in rc.d (update-rc.d command).

Other than that, it would be nice if VirtualBox somehow deals with running VMs when the host is shut down (savestate? configurable? I think vboxheadless can already do this when configured at compile time). I don't think restarting them is a job for the VirtualBox core, though. A simple script can easily handle this.

When playing with kvm on fedora f15, I was pleasantly surprised that when I shut
down my host, the guests were automatically backed up and restarted on reboot of
the host.  Pretty cool!
