Hi there,
Sorry, if this is a repeated question. I tried searching about this topic but couldn't find anything solid yet. I want to get the VM name from CentOS 6.5 guest. Please let me know if this is even possible.
Thanks.

The names of all registered VMs is listed in the GUI.

Hi mpack,
Thank you for your response.
I know we can find the VM names from the GUI but I actually like to script the host name configuration on newly cloned VM. I have setup a template image with Guest Additions and other required packages for my environment. So now whenever I get a request to spin up a VM then I just clone the template. I have created a script (attached here) to configure the host name manually but if I can get the VM name from CentOS guest (maybe using VBoxControl or something) then I should be able to automate that too.
Thanks.
