#2482 closed enhancement (fixed)

Feature for Guest Additions (execute guest commands)

Reported by: Peter Nash Owned by:
Component: VM control Version: VirtualBox 2.0.4

Guest type: other Host type: other

Description

I would like to launch Guest Applications from my Host. This would improve integration between my real and virtual machines, and create the illusion of natively running applications (which WINE achieves)

I was thinking of writing a Java App to listen to a specific port and launch specified applications with arguments (this could be limited by I.P and application name for security reasons).

Peter,
