From pratap.
I have been using your script for some time now and love the way it
works....thanks a lot. After I upgraded my VirtualBox to 3.2.10 I found that my
auto started VM's no longer worked. I initially suspected your script but then
found that the VM's would not even start under VBoxHeadless. The vm info
obtained via VBoxManage showvminfo showed a few new settings. most noticeably
the vrdpaddress which I initially tried to set to the fixed IP I had assigned
the VM's (bridged networking) but that did not work. The VirtualBox RDP server
only starts for the VM if the vrdpaddress is the local hosts, although under
Bridged networking the VM's are responding to pings and other services, and I do
not have an RDP server running in the VM's themself.
I therefore modified your script to handle this and have attached the same to
this email. so you may see what I have done and maybe incorporate some of the
logic into your script. If you do please do email me as I would prefer having a
copy of your script rather than my hack
