Documentation: Lacks example of executing guest applications from host

Reported by: Technologov Owned by:
Component: documentation Version: VirtualBox 3.2.0

Guest type: other Host type: other

Description

VirtualBox 3.2.0

Chapter "8.28. VBoxManage guestcontrol"

The syntax for this command is very very difficult.

For such complex commands, an example must be provided.

VBoxManage guestcontrol exec "MyVM" "C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe" --arg "/C" --arg "dir /S 'c:\Windows\System32'" --verbose --wait-for stdout
