| 8 | On macOS, launchd is used to start the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> autostart
|
|---|
| 9 | service. An example configuration file can be found in
|
|---|
| 10 | <filepath>/Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/org.virtualbox.vboxautostart.plist</filepath>.
|
|---|
| 11 | To enable the service copy the file to
|
|---|
| 12 | <filepath>/Library/LaunchDaemons</filepath> and change the
|
|---|
| 13 | <codeph>Disabled</codeph> key from <codeph>true</codeph> to
|
|---|
| 14 | <codeph>false</codeph>. Furthermore replace the second
|
|---|
| 15 | parameter to an existing configuration file which has the same
|
|---|
| 16 | format as on Linux, see <xref href="autostart-linux.dita#autostart-linux"/>.
|
|---|
| 17 | </p>
|
|---|
| 18 | <p>
|
|---|
| 19 | To manually start the service use the following command:
|
|---|
| 20 | </p>
|
|---|
| 21 | <pre xml:space="preserve"># launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.virtualbox.vboxautostart.plist</pre>
|
|---|
| 22 | <p>
|

| 23 | For additional information on how launchd services can be
|
|---|
| 24 | configured see:
