Hey Alexey,
Thank you for the response. I may have worded my question poorly. I think I
understand that VBoxManage is a single user process, but I don't see why
that would prevent someone from writing a utility that would help a system
administrator to manage multiple VirtualBox users on a network. For
example, if I'm not mistaken, something like the following bash script
should list all of the virtual machines registered by users on a single
host:
#!/bin/bash
for user in /home/*; do
user=$(basename ${user})
echo "${user}:"
sudo -u "${user}" bash -c '/usr/bin/vboxmanage list vms'
echo
done
Moreover I know that there are, for example, web based interfaces which are
used for remote systems administration (although I haven't used any); I was
thinking that it might be the case that similar tools exist for VirtualBox.
I apologize if my question is naive; I'm fairly new to this.
Cheers,
Itamar
