The boot loader will then erase this line: this is a once-only command. It is typically used in reboot scripts, just before calling `shutdown -r'. Used with- out any arguments, it will cancel a lock-ed or fallback command line. --- END OF QUOTE --- Follow-up Comments ******************* ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-Oct-01 14:38 By: katzj A patch was submitted with this functionality back in February -- see http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-grub/2002-February/006701.html ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-Oct-01 12:19 By: hno See also Bug #557 on the savedefault command. ------------------------------------------------------- Date: 2002-Oct-01 12:02 By: hno I'll second this, and propose it to be implemented as a temporary version of "savedefault". savenextdefault <entrynr> savenextdefault saves the default entry to be used for the next boot only. The boot after that will go back to the normal default entry. Problme is that this needs the embedded data in stage2 to be extended with one more byte if to be done in a easy manner. Another alternative would be to extend "savedefault" with an optional argument telling which entry to boot. This way one can easily make a grub script that switches to another boot entry, and have this boot entry switch the default back to the normal entry by executing a "savedefault normal-entry-number" command.
