Hi all, 

Klaus-vb suggested on #vbox you might be interested in the script I wrote to 
contribute to virtualbox. It is a python script which takes a start and a stop 
argument. The stop argument stops all currently running vm's (saving state) and 
saves their uuids in a text file. The start command starts all uuid's in that 
file again (headless). It works nicely for me as a startup/shutdown script on 
my server, but it probably might do with some modifications (or configuration 
file) to suit different setups. Maybe it could be included with virtualbox as a 
ready-to-use example of using the python api, or it might be used with 
autostart. 
I published it under the MIT license. For now I have it on github on 
https://github.com/dolfandringa/vbox_startstop/. I don't mind keeping it there, 
but if it is interesting enough, feel free to include it in virtualbox and 
publish it. 
Cheers, 

Dolf Andringa.
