I use this with great success:
http://www.kernelhardware.org/virtualbox-auto-start-vm-centos-fedora-redhat/
I had to make this modification to the script:
23d22
< #
http://www.kernelhardware.org/virtualbox-auto-start-vm-centos-fedora-redhat/
47c46
< VBOXMANAGE="VBoxManage --nologo"
---
> VBOXMANAGE="VBoxManage -nologo"
94d92
< # NOTE: For Linux guests, acpid must be running
97c95
< $SU "$VBOXMANAGE list runningvms" | sed 's/.*"\(.*\)".*/\1/' | while read
VM; do
---
> $SU "$VBOXMANAGE list runningvms" | while read VM; do
[root@Citgo init.d]#
Make sure your guests respond to an acpi shutdown request, for linux, this
means having the acpid daemon installed.
