:) ... well, you did say:
I am trying to run some commands on the command prompt of a
Windows Vista VM on a Linux host.
Which implies it's running. Okay, let's see what you're really after

Ah, so you want to use VirtualBox commands to start the VM. Once the
VM is running, you want to log in to the VM and run some commands on
the VM.
When you say `and exit', does that mean stop the VM or terminate
access to the VM or yes, both. :) No matter ... :)
The above is all possible. You'll still need something like `sshd'
installed on the VM and you'll need to use VirtualBox CLI commands to
manage the VM (start/stop).
Have you looked at the User Manual?
