| 7 | <p>On macOS, launchd is used to start the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> webservice. An
|
|---|
| 8 | example configuration file can be found in
|
|---|
| 9 | <filepath>$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/org.virtualbox.vboxwebsrv.plist</filepath>. It can be enabled by changing
|
|---|
| 10 | the <codeph>Disabled</codeph> key from <codeph>true</codeph> to <codeph>false</codeph>. To manually start the
|
|---|
| 11 | service use the following command: </p>
|
|---|
| 12 | <pre xml:space="preserve">launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.virtualbox.vboxwebsrv.plist</pre>
|

| 13 | <p>For additional information on how launchd services could be configured see: </p>
