I run my VBoxes in a chroot, which means I have to run two init
scripts...
The primary one:
----- s n i p -----
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
if [ ! -d /mnt/chroots/VirtualBox/share/home ]; then
umount /mnt/chroots/VirtualBox/share
mount /mnt/chroots/VirtualBox/share
fi
mods=`lsmod | grep vbox | wc -l`
if [ $mods -eq 0 ]; then
chroot /mnt/chroots/VirtualBox /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start
fi
chroot /mnt/chroots/VirtualBox su - turbo -c "/etc/init.d/vboxhst start"
;;
stop)
chroot /mnt/chroots/VirtualBox su - turbo -c "/etc/init.d/vboxhst stop"
;;
forcequit)
chroot /mnt/chroots/VirtualBox su - turbo -c "/etc/init.d/vboxhst
forcequit"
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}" >&2
exit 3
;;
esac
exit 0
----- s n i p -----
The secondary one:
----- s n i p -----
#!/bin/sh
unset MAIL
USER=turbo
LOGNAME=turbo
HOME=/home/turbo
HOSTS="Astrix,Windows XP Professional,Windows Vista,Windows 7,Ubuntu IMAP"
CACHE=/var/cache/vbox/xbox-vms
export USER LOGNAME HOME
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting VM: "
if [ -f $CACHE ]; then
cat $CACHE | \
while read host; do
echo -n "'$host' "
/usr/bin/VBoxManage -nologo startvm "$host" -type vrdp
done
rm -f $CACHE
else
echo "$HOSTS" | sed 's@,@\
@g' | while read host; do
echo -n "'$host' "
/usr/bin/VBoxManage -nologo startvm "$host" -type vrdp
done
fi
;;
stop)
echo -n "Suspending VM: "
/usr/bin/VBoxManage -nologo list runningvms | \
sed -e 's@ {.*@@' -e 's@"@@g' > $CACHE
cat $CACHE | \
while read host; do
echo -n "'$host' "
/usr/bin/VBoxManage -nologo controlvm "$host" savestate
done
;;
forcequit)
echo "Shutting down VM: "
/usr/bin/VBoxManage -nologo list runningvms | \
sed -e 's@ {.*@@' -e 's@"@@g' | \
while read host; do
echo -n " '$host' "
/usr/bin/VBoxManage -nologo controlvm "$host" poweroff
done
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}" >&2
exit 3
;;
esac
exit 0
----- s n i p -----
The nice thing about this is that it remembers what hosts where
running at previous shutdown, and only starts those... Not all
of them! I have a bunch of machines I start only temporarily when
needed...
