Code:

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

I have been told that one can write a script which will restart the computer then bypass grub and open other os mentioned in the script.
can anyone give me any idea how to write this script and what is the way to execute it ??
thanks in advance!

There is some information here that should help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1488926

For instance - but you'd need to check the numbers of the menu entries you have

sudo sed -i -e 's_set default=0_set default=1_g' /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo reboot

Try this:

Code:

echo "savedefault --default=2 --once" | grub --batch; sudo reboot

Replace --default=2 with the number for the OS you want to boot.

That will only work with grub2 (which you should have by default on Ubuntu 10.04)
