shutting own VB with applescript/shell script

Post by pedroparamo »

I'm trying to use the following script, which I got from this forum in an earlier post, to shutdown a Virtual Box (v4.1.4) guest--"Win XP".

I get the prompt "Hibernate", "Shutdown", "Destroy" but when I choose "Shutdown" nothing happens and I get the result '/usr/bin/VBoxManage controlvm 'Win XP'. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
