Prerequisites
=============
Users, that want to use the VirtualBox autostart feature, have to be
members of the vboxusers group.
E.g.:
sudo usermod -aG vboxusers USERNAME
Preparation
===========
For each autostart user, add a section in /etc/vbox/autostart.cfg:
USERNAME = {
allow = true
}
Users work
==========
The *first* time a user configures autostart, the command:
VBoxManage setproperty autostartdbpath /etc/vbox
needs to be run.
Note: The autostart options are stored in the /etc/vbox file, and in the
VM itself. If moving a VM, these options may need to be set again.
Prepare a VM to start automatically:
VBoxManage modifyvm <uuid|vmname> --autostart-enabled <on|off>
Choose a shut down mode:
VBoxManage modifyvm <uuid|vmname> --autostop-type <disabled|savestate|poweroff|acpishutdown>
Restart the vboxdrv service to start the VMs in question
sudo service vboxdrv restart
