How do i power off a virtualbox vm using the cli?



  • This command will do a graceful power off for operating systems that support, it, Advance Configuration & Power Interface (ACPI). It is equivalent to briefly pressing the power button.

    $ VBoxManage controlvm UAT acpipowerbutton
    

    This is a more abrupt power off, equivalent to pressing the power button and holding it.

    $ VBoxManage controlvm UAT poweroff
