Hello
I start VM in background with:
VBoxManage startvm "machine" -type headless
I want to recover the window of the connection. For exemple, if I have network problems and I can't connect by ssh, i.e. put the VM to foreground.
How can I open the console of the vm like I has started the machine without headless parameter?
Thanks!

Re: Recover headless session
AFAIK when you run a guest headless your only connection with it is via the network.
The only thing that I can think of it to access it from the server and use VBoxManage controlvm to power off the session and then start it using VBoxManage startvm in GUI mode.
But if you have network problems how are you going to access the server?
