NAME¶

kexec-bootloader - load kexec kernel from boot loader configuration.

SYNOPSIS¶

kexec-bootloader [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION¶

kexec-bootloader takes the default section of the boot loader configuration and loads that kernel and initrd with kexec -l and the respective command line.

Under systemd kexec-bootloader may be invoked by kexec-load.service (systemctl kexec) to perform a kexec.

To emulate previous SLE configurable behaviour where kexec occurs automatically at system reboot the systemd reboot target should be altered via ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/kexec.target /etc/systemd/system/reboot.target.

OPTIONS¶

--dry-run

-D, --debug

-h, help

RETURN VALUE¶

The program returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.

SEE ALSO¶

kexec(8).
