VBoxManage from GUI to headless?











up vote

I typically start VM in virtualbox as "headless" machines by issuing this command in a Terminal window on Fedora 28:



VBoxManage startvm "VM-name" --type headless


but in a hurry I sometimes type...



VBoxManage startvm "VM-namme"


...which defaults to --type gui so a window pops open while the machine boots.
How can I convert it to headless while it's running in GUI mode?
