running machines not in list

[sys_op]

Hi,

Following Problem.

I start my machines headless, I check all running machines with following command:

Code: Select all

vboxmanage list runningvms

all machines are running (I can ping them) but no machine is in the list using the upper command.

So my question is where (in which file) does virtualbox normaly register running machines

If you launch the VMs under a different host user account (sudo might count as a different host user account), then the Virtualbox GUI and vboxmanage on the account you're using now won't see the VMs' activity.

Hi,
thanks, but I switch with su to the the user, the problem only occurs randomly, normaly the command works.
