I forgot to add that I started these processes via:
VBoxHeadless -s <VMname> &
Is there a better way to start and detach a process? I can try this
with screen to see if anything is outputted to standard out...

Hello,
Can anybody kindly provide me some general ideas as to what might cause
these processes to randomly die all at the same time after having run
various VMs for several consecutive hours, and why I'm not getting any
log output to /var/log/messages that might help me determine the cause
of this problem? These processes just all of a sudden disappear, the
only remaining processes are a couple of vboxsvc processes:
/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxSVC --pipe 8
--auto-shutdown
This is occurring on CentOS 5.2 kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5, Virtualbox
3.2 (non OSE) installed via virtualbox.org RPM. This may be unrelated,
but I'm also getting nasty clock skews which I've been dealing with by
running ntpdate every minute. The kernel is being booted with the
"notsc divider=10" grub options - these were set a while ago when I was
using VMWare Server on this same machine and having the same sort of
clock skew problems. Related? Should I remove these grub options?
