User manual needs to be updated?

Description

Hi all, I was reading VBoxManage guestcontrol in the User manual: http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... Manual.pdf

At page 157 there's an example of executing a command, from Vbox host, inside a guest: VBoxManage --nologo guestcontrol "My VM" execute --image "/bin/ls" --username foo --passwordfile bar.txt --wait-exit --wait-stdout -- -l /usr

This example is outdated, because some parameters have changed:

  • "execute" is replaced by "run"
  • "--image" is replaced by "exe"
  • "--wait-exit" is no longer supported

Can anyone confirm that the manual needs to be updated?
