VirtualBox Startup Script Solaris 10 U6
I have an Ultra 24 with Solaris 10 U6 with the latest patches. I'm running VirtualBox 2.1.0 with Windows 2003 as the guest. What I'm trying to do is have the Windows VM start at Solaris startup. I had a simple script that was working that was in /etc/init.d and linked to /etc/rc3.d. For some reason the script stopped working and I'm not sure why. I rewrote the script to act more as a legacy script with start and stop arguments needed. I have created the script in /etc/init.d with a link in /etc/rc3.d names S99startmyvm. I have even tried to make it into a service with a manifest but I could not get it to work. I can manually start the scipt from command line successfully after start up but Solaris doens't seem able to run them. Any ideas why I can run the scripts but Solaris isn't able to?

Probably something to do with login variables. The easiest thing would be to post your startup script.

Both of these work if ran manually.


Here is my original that seemed to work for a little while but does not now.

Quote:
#!/bin/bash

VBoxHeadless -s merrywin1 -v off &
Here is a different one I tried that doesn't seem to work.

Quote:
#!/bin/bash
#
#
#merrywin1 start stop script
#
#
#ident "@(#)merrywin1 1.1 08/12/30 SMI"

case "$1" in
'start')
/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxManage startvm merrywin1 &
;;

'stop')
/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxManage controlvm merrywin1 poweroff
;;

*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
exit 1
;;
esac

exit 0
