Hi everyone, I'm new in virtualbox and I've got a little question:
There is a way to start a VM without using the GUI?
I've got virtualbox in a server without display, now i'm using ARD, but I've found some topics where Linux users can run VirtualBox and VMs in terminal (command line).

Thanks

Yes, the command would be

Code: Select all

VBoxManange startvm <vmname>
I know your host is a Mac and I have not used VB on a Mac, so you will have to figure out where the VBoxManage command is located.
