and should fail without it.
- VBOX: Implement the <copy_to_shared/> directive in the vbox_job.xml file.
if <copy_to_shared>init_data.xml</copy_to_shared> is set, the wrapper will
copy the init_data.xml file to the shared directory before the VM is launched.

Reschedule the job for some time in the future when there might
be enough memory.
- VBOX: Resume the VM's execution after the creation of the snapshot
but before we attempt to delete the previous, now stale, snapshot.
- VBOX: Treat the 'livesnapshotting', 'deletingsnapshotlive', and
'deletingsnapshotlivepaused' states as online states.

This changes the snapshot type from a live snapshot to an online

prevent the VM from asserting.

prefixing the checkpoint time with 'boinc_'. Hopefully this will
prevent the VM from asserting during the snapshot process.

- Perform snapshots at most once every ten minutes.
- Client suspend/resume messages behave the same.
- Client no heartbeat/quit messages cause the wrapper to just
poweroff the VM.
On startup check to see if the last checkpoint time is greater than 0,
if so, start from the most recent snapshot.
- VBOX: If we receieve the status message of no heartbeat or quit, set
the temporary delay to 5 minutes. If the wrapper is terminated during
the middle of a snapshot, hopefully this will give VirtualBox enough
time to complete the snapshot. Restarting the BOINC job should then
poweroff the VM and restore from the last snapshot.

to a quit request. On older XP machines it might speed up the memory
dump to disk.
- client: Increase the quit request timeout from 10 seconds to 60 seconds for
machines running VMs and slow disk drives. It should give the VM enough
time to gracefully shutdown and not give boinc reason to kill the wrapper.
