Can I do these from the command line?

Post by 1bloke »

I want to be able to do the following from the command line or shell script after my VM is started, but I can't seem to find them in the documentation:

- Send keyboard input after starting a VM (specifically, the <enter> key in order to automatically select a hardware profile from my windows boot)
- Set to fullscreen/seamless mode

Thanks!

Are you running a Windows host, or a Linux host? If you are running a Windows host, you could use the VBScript SendKeys function. I don't know if that would run in mono or not - it might be possible to duplicate it with expect. If you are running Windows and can give me a few more details I'll write the script for you.

let me know
