In version 5.0.18 this is around line 239. The code is like: ... PARAMS=""$PARAMS --balloon-interval \""$VBOXWATCHDOG_BALLOON_INTERVAL\"""" The extra backslashed quote marks get carried through to the command line and then into the running application itself. VBoxBalloonCtrl then ends up trying to interpret: ""1024"" (including the quote!!) as a number and fails. You should either remove the quotes (since nothing should have spaces), or start the daemon with an ""eval"".",defect,new,other,VirtualBox 5.0.18,,,,other,Linux
