winboot's Introduction

winboot

useful for dual boot setups

Winboot is a shell script that reboots directly into Windows from your Linux session, without having to select it from the grub menu. For all those times you forget to do it and your grub timer runs out.

Installation:

      1. Open up a terminal 
      
      2. Run the following commands:
                
                git clone https://github.com/semiismaili/Winboot.git
                
                cd Winboot
                
                chmod 755 winboot
                
                ./winboot -install

Usage:

      winboot (reboots to windows)
      
      winboot -h (brings this screen)
      
      winboot -update (updates to latest version from repository)
      
      winboot -install (initial one-time only installation)

      sudo winboot -set <your_entry_number>  (changes the windows entry number to <your_entry_number>)

Configuration Troubleshooter:

Winboot may need a little configuration change in /etc/default/grub to work, if winboot doesn't reboot you into Windows please try the following steps:

Step 1: Edit the grub configuration file by running: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Step 2: Change the GRUB_DEFAULT parameter so it says GRUB_DEFAULT="saved" then save&exit
