Which button?

You can run VM with with "VBoxManage startvm -name --type vrdp" and
use rdesktop to access the console, if you insist.

The rest of the management can be done with an ssh session, you should
not need anything else. If you have commands which you cannot
terminate or leave running with nohup or in the background, install
"screen".

Surely you know how to use shutdown command, "shutdown -r" will reboot
the server.
