Start guest os directly, bypassing configurator launch.

Hello.
Is there any way to launch guest os immediately with VirtualBox VM? Launching the VBox app then os, then closing the VBox app isn't very pleasant, especially if you need it like 10 times a day.
Thanks.

This and other command line options are available in your VirtualBox Users Manual.
VBoxManage startvm <uuid>|<name>
[--type gui|sdl|vrdp|headless]

If you're having to start it that often, why not just leave it running in the background instead if shutting it down?

Thanks man. I admit, I completely forgot to look in the manual... But I did forum search though.

I'm short on RAM. Even if my guest OS occupies only 256 MB I run out of ram fairly easy. I use VBox only for Tortoise SVN.
