starting vms from rc.local for normal user
Submitted by 2iR0n (not registered) on Wed, 2009-06-17 00:09.

# For vms installed by a normal user (not root) this works on a Ubuntu 9.04 host machine.

for vm in `ls /home/USER/.VirtualBox/Machines`

do

/bin/su -l USER -c "nohup /usr/bin/VBoxManage startvm $vm --type vrdp"

done

# If more than one vm is to be started you will need to set different ports for vrdp to work. Eg...

VBoxManage modifyvm VMNAME --vrdpport 3390

rdesktop xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3390

# for Windows TS client you have to edit the freakin' registry... LOL
