=================== BUG #1644: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=1644&group_id=68
Submitted by: nagilum Project: GNU GRUB Submitted on: 2002-Nov-08 11:27 Category: Network Severity: Major Priority: None Bug Group: Feature Request Resolution: None Assigned to: None Status: Open Release: Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: Summary: remote (network) controllable bootmenu Original Submission: I'm using Wake-On-LAN to power on my machine and I'm able to power down it again using halt -p under linux for example. However what I can't do is to remotely select a different operating system (well I can log into my linux box modify the menu.lst and rebootm but I have no access to it from FreeBSD for example, I'm using reiserfs) As there is already basic networking in, terminal code in (for serial control) I think it should be easy to make config options to allow connections from a specified host/network at a defined port. Then I could telnet there (I know plaintext.., but I trust my network) and use the menu as with the serial console, nothing fancy.. I think this would make GRUB the first choice bootmanager for all WOL guys.
