grub menu: restart/shutdown?

pcandpc · 08-01-2005, 12:30 PM

Hello?

I was wondering if I could incorporate restart/shutdown
option in the GRUB menu. If so, can anyone tell me how?

By the way, I'm using FC3.

Thanks.

I am going to take a guess here, because I am far from a guru, but: I think not, at least not easily. grub is a bootloader so it is only concerned with what OS you want to boot.

during the grub menu, you probably do have a de facto "restart" available via CTRL+ALT+DELETE or your hardware reset button. come to think of it, "shutdown" is available too, albeit not a graceful shutdown. but as part of the grub menu, no, I don't think so. may the gurus correct me if I'm wrong.

Add to /boot/grub/grub.conf (or /boot/grub/menu.lst):

Code:

title Reboot
	reboot

title Shutdown
	halt
