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
