Here is what I do - in /etc/rc.local, I have these lines, before exit 0:
startlist=`cat /etc/vbox/startlist.txt`
for vm in $startlist
do
logger ===================================================
logger = Starting $vm Virtual Machine
logger ===================================================
/usr/bin/VBoxManage -nologo startvm $vm --type headless
sleep 10
done
In /etc/vbox/startlist.txt there is a list of names of the VM's that I want
to start.
Hope this helps,
Mark
