Automatic startup of guests at host boot
Posted: 9. Mar 2010, 01:35
Can I configure Virtual Box on 10.6 such that my three VMs (Windows 7 x64, Windows XP x86, Linux x64) will start up automatically and run in the background when Mac OS X boots up and then be accessible via the virtual RDP connection Virtual Box offers?
I currently use VMware Fusion 2.0 to achieve this (although with Windows Vista instead of Windows 7) but Fusion 3.0 no longer supports headless mode and I don't want the VMs to run only when I am logged in and running Fusion or Virtual Box.
How would I configure VMs to run in the background and start automatically. With Fusion I had to create complicated plist files in /Library/LaunchDeamons. Does Virtual Box offer a more official way to set up VMs to boot automatically?
