The graphical auto shutdown app KShutdown released version 5.90 with feature to reboot from Linux into another OS automatically.<\/p>\n

KShutdown is a free open-source app that provides a simple Qt based user interface. It allows users to automatically shutdown, restart, hibernate, sleep, log-out, or run a command on certain time, after a period of time, on user inactivity or other event.<\/p>\n

The app is getting more and more powerful. The latest 5.90, beta for next 6.0 release, introduced experimental multi-booting support<\/b>. User can now automatically reboot from Linux into another OS, such as Windows, from Grub menu entries.<\/p>\n

The new feature needs administrator user privilege to get access ‘\/boot\/grub\/grubenv’. The app however does not apply it properly so far, and user need to start it manually via sudo kshutdown<\/code> from command line.<\/p>\n

And it does not read the Grub menu automatically, though it can be set manually in ‘Tools -> Configure KShutdown -> Restart’. Use the app ‘Grub Customizer’ to get the menu entries.<\/p>\n
