9642	Return code to start VM is unreliable => Fixed in SVN	Freek de Kruijf		"I have a shell script which runs as root to start a VM for a normal user.
Since the newest version of VirtualBox, 4.1.2 the return code is unreliable. Sometimes it returns a failure where the VM is successfully started.

The script looks like this:


{{{
vboxmanage()
{
    CMD=""/usr/bin/VBoxManage -nologo $@""
    su - freek -c ""$CMD""
}
ERROR=0
vboxmanage startvm ktmhnewb -type vrdp 2>&1 3>&1 || ERROR=1
[ $ERROR -eq 1 ] && echo ""VM did not start""
[ $ERROR -eq 1 ] && exit 1
}}}
