8 | The Guest Additions enable starting of applications inside a guest
|
---|
9 | VM from the host system. This feature can be used to automate
|
---|
10 | deployment of software within the guest.
|
---|
11 | </p>
|
---|
12 | <p>
|
---|
13 | For this to work, the application needs to be installed on the
|
---|
14 | guest. No additional software needs to be installed on the host.
|
---|
15 | Additionally, text mode output to stdout and stderr can be shown
|
---|
16 | on the host for further processing. There are options to specify
|
---|
17 | user credentials and a timeout value, in milliseconds, to limit
|
---|
18 | the time the application is able to run.
|
---|

21 | The Guest Additions for Windows allow for automatic updating. This
|
---|
22 | applies for already installed Guest Additions versions. Also,
|
---|
23 | copying files from host to the guest as well as remotely creating
|
---|
24 | guest directories is available.
|
---|
25 | </p>
|
---|
26 | <p>
|
---|
27 | To use these features, use the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> command line. See
|
---|
28 | <xref href="vboxmanage-guestcontrol.dita"/>.
