create_vbox_app.sh

#!/bin/bash
# this is a very basic script to automatically create an app and submit a WU to your boinc server. I wrote this for testing purposes and it will need some tweaking to be generalized. 
# ths point of this script is to be able to take any vdi and test if it works. You will need to rollback your changes between tests (I do this with Virtualbox snapshots)
# assumes your project directory is at ~/projects/test, that you have a compiled version of boinc in ~/boinc, and that you have a virtualbox guest folder mounted at /mnt/boincserver with your vdi image in it named vm_image_x64_1.vdi
# note you need to create the app in the ops web gui before running this script
