--_002_634914A010D0B943A035D226786325D422B76F91CAEXVMBX02012ex_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I wanted to configure multiple VirtualBox VMs to startup automatically at b= oot time and generally be a nice citizen to the FreeBSD way of starting up = stuff. Using that rc.d script (see attached) you can configure starting up multipl= e VirtualBox VMs from /etc/rc.conf: ## VirtualBox VMs vboxvm_enable=3D"YES" vboxvm_machines=3D"vm1 vm2" ## VM1 vboxvm_vm1_enable=3D"YES" vboxvm_vm1_name=3D"vm1" vboxvm_vm1_user=3D"vbox_vm1" vboxvm_vm1_log=3D"vboxvm.log" vboxvm_vm1_vncport=3D"5901" vboxvm_vm1_vncpassword=3D"secret1" ## VM2 vboxvm_vm2_enable=3D"YES" vboxvm_vm2_name=3D"vm2" vboxvm_vm2_user=3D"vbox_vm2" vboxvm_vm2_log=3D"vboxvm.log" vboxvm_vm2_vncport=3D"5902" vboxvm_vm2_vncpassword=3D"secret2" =3D=3D The script must be put to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vboxvm and understands three commands: start, stop and status. You can use it on all VMs configured (and enabled) $ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vboxvm status VBox machine 'vm1' is running. VBox machine 'vm2' is running. or on a specific VM $ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/vboxvm stop vm1 =3D=3D The parameters: vboxvm_<VM Name>_enable =3D> mandatory : enable/disable the VM vboxvm_<VM Name>_name =3D> mandatory : VirtualBox name of the VM vboxvm_<VM Name>_user =3D> mandatory : the Unix user under which the VM will be run (using VBoxHe= adless) vboxvm_<VM Name>_log =3D> optional : log file when VBoxHeadless runs the VM vboxvm_<VM Name>_vncport =3D> optional : when given, VBoxHeadless with active VNC server embedded vboxvm_<VM Name>_vncpassword =3D> optional : when VNC is active, a password =3D=3D bugs/limits: 1) the restart/rcvar commands do now work 2) when the system shuts down, it doesnt wait for "stop" to finish graceful= shutdown of VMs I'm new to writing rc.d on FreeBSD, so if someone knows how to fix those, I= 'd be interested. =3D=3D credits: the script skeleton was shamelessly stolen from /usr/local/etc/rc.= d/apache22 ;) cheers, Tobias --_002_634914A010D0B943A035D226786325D422B76F91CAEXVMBX02012ex_ Content-Type: text/plain;
