VBoxManage

VBoxManage is a command line tool provided by Oracle for managing VirtualBox, an open-source virtualization software. It allows users to create, configure, and control virtual machines (VMs) through the command line interface. With VBoxManage, users can create new VMs, register existing VMs, and delete unwanted VMs. It provides options to modify various VM settings such as storage, network, audio, and display configurations. Users can also take full control of VMs with VBoxManage by starting, stopping, saving, and restoring VMs. The tool offers advanced features like cloning VMs, creating snapshots for easy rollbacks, and managing USB device connections to VMs. Additionally, VBoxManage enables the execution of guest control commands within VMs, allowing for remote execution of scripts and applications. It provides options to import and export VMs in the Open Virtualization Format (OVF), making it easy to share VM configurations. VBoxManage can be used to monitor VM performance, networking, and resource usage through its extensive logging capability. Finally, the tool supports automation and scripting, enabling users to create and manage VMs programmatically.
