Description (last modified by frank) (diff)
In "Session Information" it would be nice to provide the IP address of the guest OS.
This way I would not need to log in into the virtual machine, issue "ifconfig" to find out the IP.
If this is only possible after VBoxAdditions... it's ok too.

Replying to frank:
Just hover over the network icon of the VM (after the Additions are running)...
You're right indeed but if it's started with VBoxHeadless I can't do that.
I have found a way to find out the IP... but I believe it's a little bit too much:
VBoxManage guestproperty enumerate {`VBoxManage list runningvms | awk -F"{" '{print $2}'` | grep \ IP | awk -F"," '{print $2}' | awk '{print $2}'
Can we please have a shortcut... for both cli & Session Information ?

Well, if you are talking about the session information then you are not talking about a headless VM, are you? And what a shortcut do you mean? And the guest properties don't need to be enumerated of course, you can fetch the item you are interested in.

Virtual Box Manager is running.
A virtual machine is started with VBoxHeadless.
In Virtual Box Manager I would like to get IP from "Session Information".
In command line it would be nice:
VBoxManage list ip [<uuid>|<name>]
- Without argument would list each running vm with it's IP
- With argument would list only that running vm IP

Try
VBoxManage guestproperty enumerate VM_NAME | grep "Net.*V4.*IP"
Just hover over the network icon of the VM (after the Additions are running)...
