Be aware that this may lose security settings. Write-in-place is also different wrt hard links, but it would be pretty odd for that file to have additional hard links. You might also need to check for the alternate name, in case the operation failed after writing the new content and unlinking the old file, but before renaming the new file. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
