      Is there a way to have a default menu item that if the PC boots into FOG menu after 3 seconds it just restarts the PC, hard restart?

      The Sysinfo option boots into a menu where option 1 is restart. Is there a way to make that default with a timeout or automatically select that option?

      Thank you! (Total noob at this stuff)

        Well it looks like its possible.

        Lets first start by creating a new iPXE menu.

        FOG Configuration->New iPXE Menu (something like that posting from old memory)

        Menu Item: os.Reboot
        Description: Wait and Reboot
        Parameters:
        reboot || goto MENU
        Menu Show with: All Hosts

        Then go and save that menu entry.

        PXE boot the target computer into the iPXE menu and pick the Wait and Reboot menu. Does it do what you want (not the wait part, but the reboot). If it does then go back into the iPXE menu editor and make that entry the default menu item.

        Understand I have not personally tested this so it may work, and it may not. If the system reboots then when its selected as default you will get the wait and then the default action will be to reboot the target computer.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!
