[vbox-dev] custom signal handling?

[Christian Pöštzsch]

Hi Lev,

/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxManage controlvm 
acpipowerbutton "vmname" should do it.

See also chapter 8 of the user manual.

Alternatively you could use the sdk to control vbox with your own 
program. There exists several bindings e.g. for python or java. Therefor 
see also the manual.
