resume:- will show an error if machine isn't suspended

To shutdown like normal pc when restarted using vagrant up, may need to start webservice again

$vagrant halt --force   

destroy VM and associated drives

$vagrant destroy --force

Recreate Vagrant Environment

$vagrant up

$vagrant ssh

$sudo apt-get udpate

$sudo apt-get install apache2 -y

$sudo rm -rf /var/www

> change `/var/www` to be a symbolic link to the default shared folder
$sudo ln -s /vagrant /var/www   

$logout

$echo "<strong>Hello!</strong>" > index.html

Reload if Vagrant Modified

$vagrant reload

$vagrant ssh

%free -m

Package Vagrant Environment

Version 1

$vagrant package --output vagrant_example.box

Version 2

When you package a box, the box name has to be the specific machine name that you can get from VirtualBox (e.g. lucid_1372711888). Just execute following command in cmd:

vboxmanage list vms

Notice that "vboxmanage" should prior be added to PATH variable. See here how to do that.

Also notice that virtual maschine name must not contain spaces. Otherwise it won't be recognized by "vagrant package" command. For instance:

vagrant package --base scotch-box_default_1444817558360_40202

Shutting down all VirtualBox (vagrant) VMs

vboxmanage list runningvms | sed -r 's/.*\{(.*)\}/\1/' | xargs -L1 -I {} VBoxManage controlvm {} savestate
