I'm looking for this functionality to be able to call a couple of programs on the XP virtual machine from a DOS batch script, and it's burdensome to have to manually start the virtual machine, open a DOS prompt window and finally run the DOS batch script. I was hoping the whole thing could be done from a shell script, but it seems as if that's not possible. I'll tag this thread in case I find some alternative in the future! -- Seb _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list vbox-users@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
