Hello,

Is it possible to run a command (unregistervm?) in a bat file that will remove ALL VM's from Vortualbox?

unregistervm needs the uuid or name of the VM but I may not know that at the time the bat file is run...

Would it be possible to write a script that loops through all registered VM's and unregister them?

I hope my question makes sense

Thank you,

Mark

use vboxmanage list vms to get the list, then vboxmanage unregistervm $vmname in the loop.

Sorry to rekindle such an old post but I am now trying to do this.... please could you give an example of how I would use list vms and then loop through the results and unregister each vm?

I am using Windows and writing a bat file that starts the vm.

Thank you,

mark

I'm afraid I don't have a practical example : I only work with Linux for Virtualbox host, so I could give you the Linux command if you so wish, but I'm very useless in Windows batch scripting

Thank you scottgus1 that link looks like it points me in exactly the right direction

If I do manage to create working scripts I will post them here....
