Right now I have a .sh file to start Photoshop seamlessly and a .sh file to shut down the VM and save the state.
What I would love to do ultimately if possible at all is have one script(launcher if possible, so it can be found when searching apps) that will start Photoshop and when it's detected that I've exited out of Photoshop in the VM, it does a shutdown and save state for the VM
Is this possible? If so, would someone be so kind as to help me do that? Would I be creating a photoshop.desktop file in /usr/share/applications with whatever in it(what would be the whatever?)? Would I be modifying the current photoshop.sh and moving it into /usr/bin THEN creating a photoshop.desktop in /usr/share/applications that somehow points to that? Or maybe somehow creating some file in /usr/bin?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Photoshop:
#!/bin/sh
VBoxManage startvm "Windows"
VBoxManage --nologo guestcontrol "Windows" run --exe "C:\\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\\Photoshop.exe" --username danny --password xxxx --wait-stdout
Shutdown:
#!/bin/sh
VBoxManage controlvm "Windows" savestate
If I did something like this...
#!/bin/sh
VBoxManage startvm "Windows"
VBoxManage --nologo guestcontrol "Windows" run --exe "C:\\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\\Photoshop.exe" --username danny --password xxx --wait-stdout && echo OK
VBoxManage controlvm "Windows" savestate
the only problem i see with the above is the VM shutting down and/or trying to restart if i forget i had photoshop open and i made another .sh for Illustrator the same way. Closing either app would shut the VM down and they'd both have commands to start the VM as well
