Hi,
I have written a script in the past for my servers.
Kind regards,
Matthias
Something like this:
#!/bin/bash
# Custom variables
LOG=/home/user/virtualbox.log
# end of custom variables
case "$1" in
start)
su -c "/usr/bin/vboxwebsrv -b" virtualbox
su -c "VBoxManage startvm vm1 --type headless" virtualbox
sleep 30
su -c "VBoxManage startvm vm2 --type headless" virtualbox
sleep 30
su -c "VBoxManage startvm vm3 --type headless" virtualbox
sleep 30
;;
stop)
su -c "VBoxManage controlvm vm1 acpipowerbutton" virtualbox
sleep 30
su -c "VBoxManage controlvm vm2 acpipowerbutton" virtualbox
sleep 30
su -c "VBoxManage controlvm vm3 acpipowerbutton" virtualbox
;;
restart)
su -c "VBoxManage controlvm vm1 acpipowerbutton" virtualbox
sleep 30
su -c "VBoxManage controlvm vm2 acpipowerbutton" virtualbox
sleep 30
su -c "VBoxManage controlvm vm3 acpipowerbutton" virtualbox
sleep 30
su -c "VBoxManage startvm vm1 --type headless" virtualbox
sleep 30
su -c "VBoxManage startvm vm2 --type headless" virtualbox
sleep 30
su -c "VBoxManage startvm vm3 --type headless" virtualbox
;;
status)
;;
*)
echo "Bad argument"
echo "Usage: $0 start|stop"
;;
