I have reinstalled my server running CentOS 5.2 and VirtualBox. In the process I have found some items that weren't documented well in the previous post VirtualBox in rc.d
I have modified the vboxcontrol script. The new script is available here.
vboxcontrol.
After setting up the script, you need to run chkconfig --add vboxcontrol
In the Ubuntu server 8.04 guest OS I had to run apt-get install acpi acpid
Unfortunately, this post isn't very verbose, but I have given up on CentOS as my VirtualBox host because of networking issues between the guest and the host. Hopefully running Ubuntu as the host OS will resolve this problem.
