It's really nice that the FreeBSD port for VirtualBox has a nice rc script for managing automatic startup and shutdown of VM's. It would be nicer though if it didn't rely on pid files though for keeping track of the vm states, as any stopping and starting a VM with the VBoxManage client will invalidate the pid. Would it be possible to add "update pid" function to the rc script, or if it finds an invalid pid, check the state of the the VM with "VBoxManage list runningvms" or "pgrep VBoxHeadless"? Thanks! -- Joe Kowalski
