virtualbox.org

Hey there...

I am using VirtualBox to run my local dev environment, specifically Local.By.Flywheel.

VirtualBox was set to autostart on my machine, so I had VBoxHeadless running all the time, taking 5% CPU (ish) and 500+MB RAM

I didn't want it to autostart, and when I close my dev platform down, I would like it to go away, stop using CPU and RAM...

So I changed the settings in:

Library \ LaunchDaemons \ org.virtualbox.startup.plist

I changed RunAtLoad to False so it doesn't autostart on boot.

I would also like it to close down when I close my Local/VirtualBox, any ideas how to do that?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Jeff

I'm not quite sure what that means. Close down what, when you close down Local/VirtualBox? How do you close Local/VirtualBox?
