Hi there,
I use phpVB on several Ubuntu headless servers for some time now and it's fantastic !
For the setups of the servers and the vms I use mainly a terminal just by habit ;) but to let my customers start/stop vms I install phpVB...
Nevertheless I sometime have to start/stop vm remotely and I use scripts for that; they are redundant with the ones used by phpVB if any.
Using phpVB to do it remotely means opening a http port in the firewall and browsing to it ….grrr
The Question now:
What script the GUI of phpVB uses to start stop acpidown etc the vms.
So I could easily start/stop them in my ssh session without installing mine or using a "VBoxHeadless --startvm xxxyyy &"
TIA
Eric
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
phpVB doesn't use a script on the host machine. It uses VB's web services API. However, anything phpVB does should be able to be performed with the cli program VBoxManage, distributed with VB. I can't remember the exact command off the top of my head, but:
VBoxManage --help | grep acpi
should give you some clue. Or you can check out the VBoxManage documentation on the VB website.
