VM completion trigger file / VM shutdown race condition

[marius311]

If your VM both writes a completion trigger file and shuts itself down shortly after, its possible to get vboxwrapper into a state where it hangs forever waiting to shutdown a VM which has already shut itself down.

A simple workaround is just don't shut your VM down since the completion trigger file works fine (which is what I've done and hence don't have any more useful info to give on where in vboxwrapper the problem is). Leaving this issue here for record-keeping.

Is this still a reproducible issue with BOINC 7.8.3 and VBox 5.2.0 or above?

I would close this issue. Such a note should go elsewhere.

Is it still an issue?
