Hello, I want to know if I could do Self-healing in Virtual Machines using VirtualBox, I'm doing this:
I'm doing a backup of one VDI at one time a day, and starting a new VM attaching this VDI 'backupyed', and how can I know if a VM is down, and if it's really down, how can I call remotely the VM attaching the VDI 'backupyed' in the time that I know that it's really down?
I know, that isn't a self-healing problem, but I wanna know if someone could help me.
This not make sense, but I need to do that in my job.
Thanks!

Use the command program VBoxManage to get the status of the VMs, let it run through a while loop or something and let it do your magic. You're pretty vague, so we can't really help you further unless you provide more info. Check the manual for the VBoxManage parameters.
