Imagine your userid is henry and your desktop machine where you have a virtualbox VM is called nirvana.
You should be able to start the VM (at any time) by running (from the portal):
$ ssh henry@nirvana.bkslab.org vboxmanage startvm LabWindows --type headless
To pause the VM use:
$ ssh henry@nirvana.bkslab.org vboxmanage controlvm LabWindows pause
You can unpause by doing running:
$ ssh henry@nirvana.bkslab.org vboxmanage controlvm LabWindows resume
I took a snapshot of the machine before shutting it down. If you need it restored to that state you can run
$ ssh henry@nirvana.bkslab.org vboxmanage snapshot LabWindows restore BeforeReboot
