Run VBoxManage commands after running the machine

[Shubham Bansal]

I am creating a windows Vm using VBoxManage-ovf. I want to run VBoxManage command "guestcontrol". But it can run only when the virtual machine is running (turned on). "vboxmanage" allows the command to be run only before the machine the machine is booted and "vboxmanage_post" runs the command after it is shutdown. I want something in between them.

you can use the shell-local provisioner to call vboxmanage directly.
