Retrieve VirtualBox PID's

Post by rkn »

Hi all,

I have a virtual machine with 4 processors assigned out of 8 and I would like to set CPU affinity for this VirtualBox
processes using taskset on Ubuntu 8.04 host.

The problem is that "ps aux" is showing only one VirtualBox process:

Code: Select all

root@machine:/etc/rc2.d# ps aux | grep VirtualBox
user   30810  5.3 19.6 3541996 3238772 ?     Sl   May23  65:40 /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox --comment Virtual --startvm f98b8960-6ac7-4a71-b76f-a42fe88d9bcd --no-startvm-errormsgbox
but in htop utility I can see up to 6 processes with this name.

How can I retrieve the correct processes PID's ?
