hello, and thanks from your support. I need to run virtual box as service, so the virtual machine starts when my apple computer power on, without any logged user. also, need to start one specific virtual machine. I can't make it work, and I'm stuck on it, and I really need to make it work.
can anybody post here specific instructions to make it work?
thanks in advance,
I can't make it run as service

What have you tried? Exactly. In full detail please, so we can pinpoint the step that failed...

Re: I can't make it run as service
I didn't even understand the question. By "without any logged user", does he mean without being logged into OSX?

Headless would be my take.loukingjr wrote:I didn't even understand the question. By "without any logged user", does he mean without being logged into OSX?
Wonder if OP has researched launchd, etc.

Headless is a fair guess. I am hoping the OP will include more info.

Re: I can't make it run as service
I mean acting like service, must run without any user logged in... just when the computer starts.
the idea is start my MacOS computer, and when it starts also start one linux virtual machine properly configured on the macos...
