679 <para>
680 The <command>VBoxManage modifyvm</command> command enables you to
681 change the properties of a registered virtual machine (VM) that is
682 not running.
683 </para>
684 <para>
685 Most of these properties correspond to the VM settings that are
686 shown in each VM's <emphasis role="bold">Settings</emphasis>
687 dialog in the VirtualBox Manager. See
688 <xref linkend="BasicConcepts" />. However, some settings can only
689 be viewed and managed with the <command>VBoxManage</command>
690 command.
691 </para>
692 <para>
693 You can use the <command>VBoxManage modifyvm</command> command to
694 change VM settings only when the VM is powered off. The VM cannot
695 be running or in saved state when you use this command.
696 </para>
697 <para>
698 You can use the <command>VBoxManage controlvm</command> command to
699 dynamically change some VM machine settings while the VM is
700 running. See <xref linkend="vboxmanage-controlvm" />.
