virtualbox.org

hi all,

i have read some threads about running vbox as a service on windows, but did not find any article about how to do the same on a mac os.
problem is within a small network i do not want to be permanently logged on in order to be able to use vbox through rdp.
can anyone help?

thanx in advance.

Is this what you're after?
Running VBox on OS X Server

yeah, pretty much.
modified the script and tried out, but it is not working for me.
all i want is virtual box to start automatically on server boot or run in background.
currently i have to login and run virtual box and stay logged in. as soon as i log out, virtual box is being quit.
any tutorial or something alike available ?

thanks a mil'

No tutorial yet.

I might go through this step by step and post it up later.

Note: It's not just a script. You need to "a LaunchDaemon to start the VBoxHeadless process". See also man launchd.

thank u very much for your help.
do i get this right: first i have to set up a launch daemon which will start the VBoxHeadless. this again will work with the script and run vbox when booting server, right?

cheers

That's the gist of it.
