|
|
- Temporarily stop the execution of a virtual machine:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`VBoxManage controlvm {{uuid|vm_name}} pause`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Resume the execution of a paused virtual machine:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`VBoxManage controlvm {{uuid|vm_name}} resume`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Perform a cold reset on the virtual machine:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`VBoxManage controlvm {{uuid|vm_name}} reset`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Poweroff a virtual machine with the same effect as pulling the power cable of a computer:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`VBoxManage controlvm {{uuid|vm_name}} poweroff`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Shutdown the virtual machine and save its current state:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`VBoxManage controlvm {{uuid|vm_name}} savestate`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Send an ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) shutdown signal to the virtual machine:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`VBoxManage controlvm {{uuid|vm_name}} acpipowerbutton`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Send command to reboot itself to the guest OS:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`VBoxManage controlvm {{uuid|vm_name}} reboot`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Shutdown down the virtual machine without saving its state:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`VBoxManage controlvm {{uuid|vm_name}} shutdown`
|
