kexec-bootloader(8) Manual Page

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

Do everything but don’t actually run kexec.

-D, --debug

Prints debugging output.

-h, help

Shows a short usage message.

Return value

The program returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.
