I can think of a couple ways to do what you say: - if there is a date/time command in GRUB, have the `grub.cfg` check the date and refuse to offer any booting options after that date (where I suppose the hardware-clock supplies that date) - alternatively to "not booting", you could have it boot DBAN which will erase everything on all disks :-) Or have a human manually boot the self-destruct option (which should require an administrator password probably) (how do you expect to re-use these computers, if they have a nonfunctional boot-loader, by the way?) -Isaac _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
