1. If I want to enter series of commands on the shell, I need to type
it manually. How do I copy/paste into guest OS ?
For copy/paste the guest needs the VBox drivers installed - which require
X running. As such I don't think you can get copy paste running through
virtualbox like that.
What you might be better doing is using a program called 'Putty' on your
Windows host and ssh into the linux virtual machine. This is a defining
feature of *nix systems and if your sticking with a cli you might as well
use it.
2. When I run a command, it outputs some text, and the window scrolls.
I can't get back the scrolled text. Is there a way to save this as
text file ? so that later I can open and view.
This is a more generic *nix question. To direct the output into a text
file use '>'.
So:
ps -e > psoutput.txt
you can then read the file using something like less
less psoutput.txt
what you call the file does not matter.
The other "better" option would be to pipe the output of your command into
another. So instead of using a file just do:
ps -e | less
Hope that helps a little
