VBoxHeadless - VM without GUI

Fellow Geeks,
I have been doing some interesting stuff of late and thought i should share some...

I probably should start with the simplest....

To run a VirtualBox Virtual Machine without GUI on the Host (This is default in CentOS' and Fedora's Virtual Machine Manager) for whatever reason u may use any of the following commands...

VBoxManage startvm "VM name" --type headless

or

VBoxHeadless --startvm

Typical scenario in production/server environments where no one needs to access the GUI of a Virtual Machine from the Server/Host itself.
Instead we access the VMs using VNC or SSH
