+    <para><computeroutput>vboxwebsrv</computeroutput> is used for controlling

+          <para>On Mac OS X, launchd is used. An example configuration file can
+          be found in
+          <computeroutput>$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/org.virtualbox.vboxwebsrv.plist</computeroutput>.
+          It has to be enabled by changing the
+          <computeroutput>Disabled</computeroutput> key from
+          <computeroutput>true</computeroutput> to
+          <computeroutput>false</computeroutput>. To manually start the service
+          use the following command:
+          <screen>launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.virtualbox.vboxwebsrv.plist</screen>
+
