On a similar note (shameless plug), there is https://github.com/jimklimov/vboxsvc for Solaris/illumos SMF integration, so these hosts can register and run (and track health of) VMs as individual service instances/units (in systemd'ish speak) - so each VM can have a separate place in dependency graph, etc. Sadly, it never got featured along phpVirtualbox and other neat projects on the main page ;( I suppose it would not be too hard to abstract SMF code to plug in similar systemd concepts to cover both bases; I've done similar in NUT, shell is quite OOP friendly ;) Jim -- Typos courtesy of K-9 Mail on my Android _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] https://www.virtualbox.org/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
