Hi,
I have a project that builds a VM appliance for PHP development. (http://drupal.org/project/quickstart).
A series of automated command line scripts install and configure software on an Ubuntu guest. It takes about an hour to complete.
I'd like it to make "snapshots" along the way, so I can go back and debug it without having to wait 30 minutes for the process to continue.
How could I do this with VBox? Is there a command line script I can run inside the client?
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Start snapshot from inside guest
Code: Select all
VBoxControl takesnapshot
VBoxService --help also has guest commands
