>From the command line, I can "set pager=1", and then either cat a long file
or use a for loop to echo 30 lines, and see that the pager puts up a "-- MORE
--" prompt and waits for a key. However, the same thing doesn't seem to work
from within a menuentry in a file loaded by "configfile". Try putting the
following file as "test.cfg" somewhere grub can get at, and then loading it
via "configfile /path/to/test.cfg" from the grub command line:
set pager=1
menuentry "Always present" {
echo Insert something always useful here.
for x in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 ;
do
echo Piles of output
done
}
x=3
if [ "$x" -gt 0 ] ; then
menuentry "Conditionally present" {
echo Insert something conditionally useful here.
}
fi
if [ "$x" -gt 5 ] ; then
menuentry "Conditionally present (and missing)" {
echo Insert something conditionally non-useful here.
}
fi
Loading test.cfg via configfile will bring up a menu with two entries.
Choosing either one of them should prompt for a key at the end of the
menuentry, and choosing the first one should additionally have a MORE prompt
after 24 lines as well as the prompt at the end.
If instead I make that file grub.cfg, rather than loading it via configfile
from the command line, then the MORE prompt works in the first menu entry, but
I still don't get prompts at the end of each menuentry's output like I did
with previous versions of GRUB2. (I know that it works with at least bzr
revision 2587.)
