How to Reset and Retart a VM every hour

[AnthonyVO]

I realize my request is a bit odd but let me explain. I use a VM to host a demo environment that needs to reset every hour.

I would love to use something like this service because the Windows 10 Host often restarts unexpectedly due to OS updates.

Currently I have a batch file that is a scheduled task which runs hourly. The batch file;

1. Shuts-down the VM
2. Restores the Previous State
3. Restarts the VM

Would it still be possible to do this with a VM that was managed by the VBoxVmService

Batch File below

@path=%PATH%;c:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox
@set VMSERVER=Windows 2016 Demo Server
vboxmanage controlvm "%VMSERVER%" poweroff
@timeout /t 3
vboxmanage snapshot "%VMSERVER%" restorecurrent
@timeout /t 3
vboxmanage startvm "%VMSERVER%"

VBoxVmService and vboxmanage might not be able to work together, but you are welcome to try. Also you might want to check the wiki page https://github.com/onlyfang/VBoxVmService/wiki/Runing-VirtualBox-GUI-together-with-VBoxVmService.
