In that case, you could try nohup VBoxHeadless -s <VMname> & Just a quick shot. Of course, why didn't I think of that? That's probably exactly what happened :) I'll give this a shot... I was thinking of first trying this with screen, which would do the same sort of thing. A useful feature addition for VBoxHeadless might be some sort of detach option for dummies like me to make this a little clearer. I was also playing around with doing something like: VBoxHeadless -s <VMname> > logfile.txt to keep a running log of what is printed to stdout, but this doesn't work. This might be handy if there are error messages and certainly for the useful notifications. One advantage of using screen will be being able to see the last few things outputted when I reattach a session. Is there some way that I'm not aware of to define log files for individual headless VMs?
