Hi, I've finally been able to work out an updated version of the manifest/method for my Virtualbox SMF service. This new version includes the corrections you suggested earlier in this thread, and others:
- Handling multiple VMs: changed from contract model to transient because of how Virtualbox starts the VMs, - Service dependencies: new dependency on milestone/multi-user-server - Property value checking (in the method though, because I'm not familiar with Template Extensions and Value Constraints) - VM State checking before starting/stopping You can read more and download the files at http://adumont.serveblog.net/2009/09/01/virtualbox-smf-2/.
