shutdown & wakeup

Submitted by bic on December 11, 2006 - 4:44am

I am trying to get shutdown / wakeup working. My system requires it to be rebooted and then run the halt command to work right.

I am trying to set up the reboot and halt, but it's going into the halt option. In my mythshutdown I have:

#!/bin/bash
BOOT_PARTITION=/dev/hda1
POWEROFF_BOOTOPTION=2
if ! grep -q /boot /etc/mtab
then mount $BOOT_PARTITION /boot
fi
grub-set-default $POWEROFF_BOOTOPTION
reboot

In my menu.lst -> grub.conf I have:

default saved
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title MythDora (2.6.18-1.2239.fc5smp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5smp ro root=/dev/rootvg/rootlv01
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5smp.img
title MythDora-up (2.6.18-1.2239.fc5)
root (hd0,0)

initrd /initrd-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5.img

Title Power Off
savedefault 0
cat /boot/grub/default
halt

oops "I am trying to set up the reboot and halt, but it's going into the halt option."

This should read "I am trying to set up the reboot and halt, but it's NOt going into the halt option."

One of the strange things it appears that grub-set-default isn't on MythDora 3. Yet grub .97 is installed (http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Invoking-grub_002dset_002ddefault)

Thanks, that led me to another link http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Booting-once_002donly.html

whew what a long road this one has been (my motto is never give up).

grub.conf:

default saved
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title MythDora (2.6.18-1.2239.fc5smp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5smp ro root=/dev/rootvg/rootlv01
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5smp.img
savedefault

title MythDora-up (2.6.18-1.2239.fc5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 ro root=/dev/rootvg/rootlv01
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5.img
# savedefault

title Power Off
savedefault --default=0
halt

mythshutdown:
#!/bin/bash
echo "savedefault --default=2 --once" | grub
reboot

plus the usual setup in mythtvsetup / mythwelcome.
