Passing command line arguments from host command line to guest

It looks like VirtualBox guestcontrol makes it easier to pass command line arguments and environment variables to an application started on the guest.

Unfortunately, Parallels does not.

More and more I regret having chosen Parallels instead of VirtualBox.

I will switch as soon as possible.

VBoxManage guestcontrol start [--exe] [--putenv][--unquoted-args]
