Hey TerryE,
I try
at command to save the state of Guest OS here are the results
* console startvm, console initiated at savestate :-
works
* console startvm, ssh initiated at savestate : -
fails
I still not able to figure out why it fails remotely while it runs perfectly fine on the console.

So for the avoidance of doubt if your script is called
suspendVM and your VM is called
fred them if you create the test script
~/sleepFred:
Code: Select all
#! /bin/sh
whoami
at now <<END
suspendVM fred >/tmp/suspend$1.log 2>&1
END
then if you start
fred from the console, and later type
~/sleepFred Cons from the console then the suspend works. If you restart
fred from the console, and type
~/sleepFred SSH from an interactive ssh then the suspend dies. Just the two files post up
suspendCons.log and
suspendSSH.log here in [
code] blocks will you.

Sorry, just a quick post. Probably not a solution.
Another option, under linux, is to use the "disown" command.
IE:
Similar to nohup, it means it will allow you to log out and the session to keep running.

Hey TerryE
Only solution i find for handling VirtualBox Remotely is i installed RealVNC on the server and its viewer on my laptop so that i can handle it remotely.
