Running VirtualBox VM host on ReadyNAS Pro

Hi, You are the guy who made me buy 2x4GB for my pro... As I changed processor to E6600, I use my nas to host some VM. I got them running "as services" with help from scripts from http://sisco.laf.free.fr/codes/MyVM.html and http://www.glump.net/howto/virtualbox_as_a_service#create_the_init.d_script. When you want to start a VM then disconnect your ssh session, & is not enough. It only sends VBoxHeadless to the background, but it stays attached to your ssh session. Try this instead : nohup VBoxHeadless --startvm <uuid|name> --vrde on --vrdeaddress <host ip> --vrdeport <port for RDP> & - Mackila fbmachines wrote: jmalmlund wrote: Edited my start command in the previous post.. you just need to add an '&' to the end of the start command to put the VBox process into the background allowing you to disconnect your ssh session. Thanks! I'll give it a try when I get home. I knew it had to be something simple. [...]

If you exit your shell cleanly whatever process you have put running in the background should keep running, I've never had any problems with this.

To cleanly disconnect/exit the shell you may use 'logout', 'exit' or press <ctrl-D> on an empty prompt.
