Can I start a VM as headless from /usr/bin/VirtualBox

Hi All,
Currently I start my headless machines from the command line. Is there a way to start them (as headless) from the GUI (/usr/bin/VirtualBox)?
Many thanks,

If it is Linux you can use a launcher to start it and even put it in the session manager on Debian based distro to launch it at boot up. Or write a start up script.

I wrote my own "VM-Utils" to start them at rc3/5.d and stop them at rc0/6.d. Works really well. I was just looking for something easier when I was messing with (administering) them. I was hoping I was just missing some thing right under my nose.
