Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro

chirpa,

I too tried that but it was not successful...
currently it does not launch the VirtualboxHeadless process upon startup

I inserted the virtualbox line into /etc/default/services just before the WAK_ON_LAN line

USER_HOME_DIRECTORY_RECYCLE_MAX_DAYS=10
USER_HOME_DIRECTORY_RECYCLE_MAX_SIZE=2048
VIRTUALBOX=1
WAKE_ON_LAN=0

And then added the following line to /etc/frontview/addons/addons.conf

VIRTUALBOX!!VirtualBox!!3.2.4!!/root/vboxctrl.sh start!!/root/vboxctrl.sh stop

And finally added your vboxctrl.sh script to my /root directory.

#! /bin/sh
# Control VirtualBox with system startup/shutdown

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin

case "$1" in
  start|"")
        /usr/bin/VBoxHeadless --startvm "WinXP" --vrdpport 8888 --vrdp on &
        ;;
  stop)
        /usr/bin/VBoxManage controlvm "WinXP" savestate
        ;;
  status)
        /usr/bin/VBoxManage showvminfo "WinXP" | grep '^State:'
        ;;
  restart|reload|force-reload)
        echo "Error: argument '$1' not supported" >&2
        exit 3
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: vboxctrl.sh [start|stop|status]" >&2
        exit 3
        ;;
esac

and used chmod 755 to make it executable.

I also verified that the

vboxctrl.sh start

successfully launched the Vbox when executed from the command line.
