virtualboxvm: It is the command-line tool to manage and control VirtualBox VMs.
--startvm ${select}: This flag specifies that the VM with the name mentioned in the ${select} variable should be started. The ${select} variable contains the name of the desired VM, allowing you to select a specific VM to start.
--dvd ${path\to\image_file}: This flag specifies that a DVD (virtual optical disk) should be mounted to the VM. The ${path\to\image_file} variable contains the path to the image file that represents the DVD. By providing this path, the command instructs VirtualBox to make the specified image file available as a DVD to the VM during startup.
