<title>Default Action when Terminating the VM</title>
<body>
<p>You can define a specific action for terminating a VM. In contrast to the setting decribed in the previous
section, this setting allows only one action when the user terminates the VM. No exit menu is shown. Use the
following command: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage setextradata <varname>VM-name</varname> GUI/DefaultCloseAction <varname>action</varname>
</pre>
<p><varname>action</varname> is one of the following:
</p>
<dl>
<dlentry>
<dt>
<codeph>SaveState</codeph>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Save the VM state before terminating the VM process. </p>
</dd>
</dlentry>
<dlentry>
<dt>
<codeph>Shutdown</codeph>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>The VM is shut down by sending the ACPI power-off event to the guest. </p>
</dd>
</dlentry>
<dlentry>
<dt>
<codeph>PowerOff</codeph>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>The VM is powered off. </p>
</dd>
</dlentry>
<dlentry>
<dt>
<codeph>PowerOffRestoringSnapshot</codeph>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>The VM is powered off and the saved state returns to the last snapshot. </p>
</dd>
</dlentry>
<dlentry>
<dt>
<codeph>Detach</codeph>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Terminate the frontend but leave the VM process running. </p>
</dd>
</dlentry>
</dl>
<p>This is a per-VM setting. You can specify any combination of properties. If all properties are specified, the VM
cannot be shut down. </p>
