Supports these commands:

-- start, stop, halt, reset

To install, just download the script and place it in your ~/bin folder. Make sure ~/bin is in your $PATH.

Requires Python, and of course VirtualBox!

    The script worked for me so far. Followed your instructions and it worked. Thanks! Now I can learn a little python. My host machine is a Mini-Mac with Snow Leopard.
