virtualboxvm: Start a virtual machine.
$ virtualboxvm --startvm ${select}
try on your machine

The command "virtualboxvm --startvm ${select}" is used to start a virtual machine using the VirtualBox software.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "virtualboxvm": This is the name of the executable file for the VirtualBox software. It is used to interact with VirtualBox from the command line.

  • "--startvm": This is a command option or flag that indicates that we want to start a specific virtual machine.

  • "${select}": This is a placeholder or variable that represents the name or ID of the virtual machine we want to start. The actual value is provided when the command is executed.

By running this command with the appropriate value for ${select}, VirtualBox will start the specified virtual machine, allowing you to interact with the virtual environment.
