[vbox-dev] How to get the current running IMachine instance inside a host service?

[Huihong Luo]

Thanks. Yes, we can get that info from command line, on linux or windows.
 
I was wondering if there are better ways? for instance, the COM. If not, perhaps add a method to IVirtualBox, or pass some info to the host services on loading time.

On linux hosts:

$ ps aux | grep -i virtual
mndo     18797  0.0  0.0   5600  1808 ?        S    13:02   0:00
/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxXPCOMIPCD
mndo     19614  0.0  0.0   3336   884 pts/5    S+   14:24   0:00 grep -i virtual
mndo     21477  0.0  0.2  13828  4256 ?        Sl   13:03   0:01
/usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxSVC --automate
mndo     21485 20.2 24.4 631264 503028 ?       Sl   13:03  16:26
/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox --comment WinXP --startvm
849a196c-2b64-4235-97ea-1a6722c79d96

The last line have the name and the uuid.
Don't have a windows host :|

Hope this helps.

Cheers
