#19 Wrong name identification when there is active USB connectio

[Mark Baaijens]

When you use:
vboxtool show
You get as the name of the machine also the name of a connected USB object.
This is caused by this line:
name=$($vbox_command showvminfo $uuid | grep "Name:" | awk 'BEGIN{FS="Name: "}{print $2}')

Because the keyword "Name:" is used also in the "USB Device Filters" section.

I think that adding a "-m 1" to the grep should be enough:

name=$($vbox_command showvminfo $uuid | grep "Name:" -m 1 | awk 'BEGIN{FS="Name: "}{print $2}')

Without this fix it is not also possible to save the state of a give machine because it doesn't match the name.

(Thanks to Fabrizio Reale for reporting)

Had the same problem and came to the same conclusion before looking here.

It might be best though to use the log-opt version as in "--max-count 1"

I have similar problem with the command vboxtool start or autostart if the virtual machine has an usb device.

I have fix with "-m 1" and now it starts and stops ok, but I dont check anything more.
