Do you suggest me to run a script from linux that will
make grub run windows after 10 times? I ment that the
system will run windows (possibly XP) 10 times, and
then run linux once. Altering grub from XP is not so
simple, and exept relying on the XP to recover itself
(IE switch to "boot from linux"
So what needs to be done is place an image back once in a while. It
should be possible to create a GRUB command for that, I guess. :-)
Why a command? A better way, IMO, is using some variables stored in file.
It could be presented as array SAVED_INTEGER of integers and SAVED_FLAGS
of flag

As I'm planning to use it as a recovery console I
prefer loading linux won't be dependable of loading
windows, but that it'll be loaded on its on each week
or each 10 boots. It seems to me that grub requires a
very small patch in order to make partitionX loaded 10
times and then to go back to defau
You can use grub-set-default command (shipped with grub legacy), which
should be easily ported for windows (if your boot partition is readable by win).
(It is shell script.).

Then you can do all the logic in wind
