<pre wrap="">I didn't succeed with this, too, grub simply didn't save the new default.
But I found a way that works:
in my menu.lst I have
default 1
so my linux kernel is the default boot option. In my mythshutdown script
I have
echo "savedefault --default=0 --once" | grub --batch
This sets the PowerOff (0) item only for the next boot. Any following
booting will again have the default from menu.lst. It works for me.</pre>

Thats odd - the commands I use to implement this are quite different.<br>
<br>
I'm running a Gentoo installation and I have grub 0.96-r2 installed. In
my grub.conf I have :<br>
<br>
default saved<br>
<br>
......<br>
<br>
title PowerOff<br>
savedefault 0<br>
halt<br>
<br>
Then my mythshutdown script is :<br>
<br>
grub-set-default 1<br>
reboot<br>
<br>
<br>
Works for me. When I was setting it up, I tried using the format you're
describing, but I couldn't get it to work<br>
