vboxmanage: Start a virtual machine in headless mode.

VBoxManage

$ VBoxManage startvm ${select} --type headless

try on your machine

This command is using the VBoxManage tool to start a virtual machine in headless mode. Here's the breakdown of each part of the command:

VBoxManage: This is the command-line tool provided by Oracle VirtualBox for managing virtual machines.
startvm: This subcommand is used to start a virtual machine.
${select}: It seems to be a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the name or UUID of the virtual machine you want to start. Make sure to substitute it with the appropriate value.
--type headless: This option specifies that the virtual machine should start in headless mode. Headless mode means that the virtual machine runs without a visible GUI window. It allows you to run the virtual machine in the background, without any graphical interface displayed.

So when you execute this command with the appropriate virtual machine name or UUID, it will start the specified virtual machine in headless mode.
