The second i think the second command isn't even running. Try to get a log for this, like: <start> stuff... echo "starting vm1... " >> file.log VBoxManage startvm vmname1 echo "vm1 started: $?" >> file.log echo "starting vm2... " >> file.log VBoxManage startvm vmname2 echo "vm2 started: $?" >> file.log <end> and check the log. also, you can try this: <start> stuff... ( VBoxManage startvm vmname1 )& ( VBoxManage startvm vmname2 )& <end> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
