Script virtualBox installation running stop

Post by fstn »

HI, I want to script virtualbox installation, our company already have some product with an installer. We would like to automatically install virtualBox with our product.
We also wanted:
  • -automatically create vm from disk
    -automatically starting vm
    -shutting vm when we close our product
Is there any way to pilot virtualBox with command line?

Thank you

There are several ways to perform what you want :
  • VBoxManage, command line utility to control virtualbox
  • SDK & API, if you want to write code for it
