+ <title>macOS: Starting the Web Service With launchd</title>
+
+ <body>
+ <p>
+ On macOS, launchd is used to start the Oracle VM VirtualBox
+ webservice. An example configuration file can be found in
+ <filepath>$HOME/Library/LaunchAgents/org.virtualbox.vboxwebsrv.plist</filepath>.
+ It can be enabled by changing the <codeph>Disabled</codeph>
+ key from <codeph>true</codeph> to <codeph>false</codeph>. To
+ manually start the service use the following command:
+ </p>
+ <pre xml:space="preserve">launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.virtualbox.vboxwebsrv.plist</pre>
+ <p>
+ For additional information on how launchd services could be
+ configured see:
