All, I've written what i think is a handy little utility for testing and experimenting with grub init tunes. To use it, you can do one of three things: 1. Just run the script. In this case, it will read /etc/default/grub and play the current GRUB_INIT_TUNE. 2.Set the GRUB_INIT_TUNE environmental variable to a tune. In this case, it will play your tune. This allows you to try out different tunes. 3. Use one of the tunes I've created. Do this by editing the script and uncommenting the line for the tune you want to try. There are several tunes listed at the top of the script. The script plays the GRUB_INIT_TUNE and then echos it to the console. To save a tune, just redirect the output to your grub default file,: # grub-init-tune >> /etc/default/grub # update-grub To download the script, point a browser here: http://www.iavit.org/~john/grub-init-tune Or: # wget http://www.iavit.org/~john/grub-init-tune # chmod 07555 grub-init-tune
