Auto Start Ubuntu VirtualBox (VM) & Fastcoin daemon
--------------------------------------------------------------
A.0) Start by right clicking your (VM) in VirtualBox and select "Create shortcut on desktop"
A.1) Copy this file to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
A.2) (simply drag it to the start menu and place it under startup.)

When windows boots, your VirtualBox machine will now auto-start as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------
B.0) Define an IP address for your (VM) so DHCP does not end up changing it.
--------------------------------------------------------------
B.1) To define an IP instead of letting DHCP assign an IP.
    sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
B.2) Append the following changes to suit your network.
--------------------------------------------------------------
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.2.102
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.2.250
    dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 192.168.2.250
--------------------------------------------------------------
C.0 Create an upstart for your fastcoin daemon.
--------------------------------------------------------------
C.1) sudo apt-get install rungetty
C.2) sudo editor /etc/init/tty1.conf
C.3) comment out "exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty1"
C.4) add the following line

     exec /sbin/rungetty --autologin username tty1
--------------------------------------------------------------
D.0) To control the startup and persistent execution of processes, you can use upstart.
--------------------------------------------------------------
D.1) Create a file fastcoin_upstart.conf in /etc/init
    sudo nano /etc/init/fastcoin_upstart.conf
D.2) Append the following lines and modify to suit your needs.
--------------------------------------------------------------
    # Make sure you create this file in /etc/init
    description "fastcoin_upstart"
    author      "Fastcoin Developer"

    # start daemon on system startup
    start on filesystem
    stop on shutdown

    # Automatically respawn in case it forks on execution (runs in background)
    respawn
    respawn limit 20 5

    # Change to suit your host machine username.
    exec /usr/bin/fastcoind -datadir=/home/username/.fastcoin

    # or if you are running from src folder instead of /usr/bin/ replace line above with line below.
    # exec /home/username/fastcoin/src/fastcoind -datadir=/home/username/.fastcoin
--------------------------------------------------------------
E.2) You can then control this service using the following commands.
    sudo start fastcoin_upstart, sudo stop fastcoin_upstart, sudo restart
E.3) Keep in mind that these processes, (setup as they are) will run as root.

Notes:

All the log files for upstart are located in /var/log/upstart/fastcoin_upstart.log.
    sudo cat /var/log/upstart/fastcoin.conf to see the entire file.
List the last few entries by running,
    sudo tail -n 300 /var/log/upstart/fastcoin_upstart.conf
