Changing the default menu choice
Using auto_adm , you can also change the default menu choice with the following form of the
command:
/opt/ignite/bin/auto_adm -D -L label [-f infile] [-o outfile]
[-O output_format] [-?]
The following example shows the change in default menu choices from the first to the second
option:
$ cat boot.adm
hpux KernelPrompt "Please select something to boot" 10 1
reset
"HP-UX 11.23 64bit (PA-RISC)" -i3 (;0)boot/Rel_B.11.23/WINSTALL
"HP-UX 11.11 64bit" boot (;0)boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL
"Exit" reboot
$ auto_adm -D -L "HP-UX 11.11 64bit" -f boot.adm -o boot.adm2 -O ISL
$ cat boot.adm2
hpux KernelPrompt "Please select something to boot" 10 2
reset
"HP-UX 11.23 64bit (PA-RISC)" -i3 (;0)boot/Rel_B.11.23/WINSTALL
"HP-UX 11.11 64bit" boot (;0)boot/Rel_B.11.11/WINSTALL
"Exit" reboot
Changing the timeout
The timeout value is used by the boot loader to determine how long to wait for user input before
executing the default menu choice (see the next section for more information about how to set the
default menu choice).
/opt/ignite/bin/auto_adm -T timeout [-f infile] [-o outfile]
[-O output_format] [-?]
In the following example, you can see the timeout change from 10 to 30 seconds (the second last
field on the first line) for this file in ISL format:
$ cat boot.isl2
hpux KernelPrompt "Please select something to boot" 10 1
reset
"HP-UX 11.11 32bit w/debug logging" -i3 (;0)boot/Rel_B.11.11/INSTALL
"HP-UX 11.11 32bit" boot (;0)boot/Rel_B.11.11/INSTALL
"Exit" reboot
$ auto_adm -T 30 -f boot.isl2 -o boot.isl -O ISL
$ cat boot.isl
hpux KernelPrompt "Please select something to boot" 30 1
reset
"HP-UX 11.11 32bit w/debug logging" -i3 (;0)boot/Rel_B.11.11/INSTALL
"HP-UX 11.11 32bit" boot (;0)boot/Rel_B.11.11/INSTALL
"Exit" reboot
