VBoxManage guestcontrol hangs on execute

Reported by: Branan Owned by:
Component: guest control Version: VirtualBox 4.1.2
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: other

Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

Example session:

VBoxManage --nologo guestcontrol 'Uru Build Server' execute --image 'C:\windows\notepad.exe' \
 --username buildbot --password password --wait-stdout --verbose
Waiting for guest to start process ...
Process 'C:\windows\notepad.exe' (PID: 2104) started
Waiting for process to exit ...
^C^C^C

Once I close notepad (or the process terminates on its own), VBoxManage does not end, instead it just hangs at "Waiting for process to exit ...". SIGINT has no effect on VBoxManage at this point.

If I kill the VBoxManage process and try to run a new instance of it, it will hang at "Waiting for guest to start process ..." (as if some sort of lock was never released by the killed process?). No process is ever launched in the VM. As far as I can tell, this can't be fixed without restarting the VM.

The VM is pretty lightweight - currently the only program installed is Visual Studio.

Confgirm this. This happens for me too, and only cure is to restart the guest.

There were many changes in guest execute in VBox 4.2. Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.2.4.

The problem still occurs with VirtualBox 4.2.12 (Host: Windows 7 32-Bit, vbox 4.2.12; Guest: Debian 32-Bit, vbox additions 4.2.12).

Furthermore the problem does not seem to be related to #10616 unlike mentioned in previous comments.
