[vbox-dev] Virtual Box API to shutdown machine / apply snapshot

[Benedict, Elad]

Hi,
This is my first interaction with this API so I guess I'm just using it wrong;

My machine can be in the saved\paused\abort\running state.
I'd like to write the simplest code that gets my machine from whatever state it is in to a running state after having restored a given snapshot.

Can you please advise?

Thanks again,
Elad.

Which "certain states" are you talking about? So far we got away with 
the API methods...
