Start application in vbox vm with bash.

Hi eveyone,

I need some help from you guys.
My problem is the following;
I would like to start an application in a virtual-box vm with a bash-script placed on my Ubuntu desktop, and i would like to suspend the continuation of the bash-script till I'm finished with that application .
The bash-script should continue the moment I stop the application in the vm.
Is this possible?

I have the following:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
VboxName="Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC"
VAppName="C:\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe"

VBoxManage -nologo startvm "$VboxName"
VBoxManage -nologo guestcontrol "$VboxName" run --exe "$VAppName" --wait-stdout


Is it possible to start seamlessly?

How can I suspend the continuation of the bash-script till I'm finished with my work?

How can i force the vm going in suspending mode?

I'm new to Linux, and help will be much appreciated.

Rgds.
