script to start guest VM's at host boot

Hello,

A while ago I wrote a script to start up VirtualBox guests at boot time of my Ubuntu host. It also made setting up tap and bridge interfaces easy for Host interface attached networking.

After receiving some comments and suggestions to make it more public, I've decided to package it in a tarball, and adding some documentation, so others can use it as well.

Those interested can find the script and documentation at http://farfewertoes.com/code/vboxcontrol/

It's currently developed on an Ubuntu 8.04 host with VirtualBox 1.6.0.

Suggestions for improvements and good criticism are welcome.

Regards,

Jochem Kossen
