The official documentation <https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#idm267> says: On a Linux or Solaris host, depending on your desktop environment, a "VirtualBox" item may have been placed in either the "System" or "System Tools" group of your "Applications" menu. Alternatively, you can type "VirtualBox" in a terminal. There is no command "VirtualBox" but only some commands named VBox* like "VBoxManage" that are symlinks to /usr/lib64/virtualbox/VBox. The command "VBoxManage" prints out >10 pages of documentation: # VBoxManage | wc -l 590 No window shows up as promised. There is no man page. Is there a _short_ documentation for which command to give with wich parameters? Bertram -- Bertram Scharpf Stuttgart, Deutschland/Germany http://www.bertram-scharpf.de
