            Bug ID: 212074
           Summary: emulators/virtualbox-ose starting virtual machines
                    with vboxheadless returns 'already running?'
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: vbox@FreeBSD.org

When I start vboxheadless like this, it gives an error:

# service vboxheadless start vmname
vboxheadless already running?  (pid=3D738 756 770 784 798 812 826 840 854 8=
68 882
896 910 924 938 952 966 980 994 1008 1022 1036 1050 1064 1078).

The listed pids are from the VBoxHeadless instances that are already runnin=
g.
These were started on boot, via rc.conf
In rc.conf they are listed like this:
vboxheadless_machines=3D"vmname2 vmname3 vmname4 vmname-etc"

If I use /usr/bin/install and /usr/sbin/daemon to create a pid and to start
VBoxHeadless the vm starts up like it should.

The virtual machine I am trying to start is not listed in
vboxheadless_machines, and does not get started at boot. It works the same =
for
other virtual machines that are not started on boot.
