[ale] run scripts - archlinux inside virtualbox

[Narahari 'n' Savitha]

Friends:

My dev env is archlinux inside virtualbox.  I chose arch after coming from
ubuntu.

Since arch is a rolling update OS, the upgrades/updates are minimal risk
and apparently a natural progression from ubuntu.

The issue I face is to run packman -Syu on Thu nights when I am not around.

I use vboxmanage on Windoze to clone the vm.

What I would like to do after above step is to

start vm (this can be done with vboxmanage)
==> run pacman as root as soon as vm starts so I can auto update the OS <==

The above step is what I am looking for a solution.

Kindly help.
