Hi folks,
I have a dual-boot Ubuntu/Windows machine and I wanted to create a script to change the menu.lst file so it will change the default boot partition (this is so I can reload the machine remotely and allow it to boot to the Windows partition).
Today I have to sudo cp a template file I created changing the default boot, but wanted to have something simpler.
Also I wanted to change only the default line of the actual menu.lst instead of relying on a template so if there are any changes to the running menu.lst I do not overwrite them.
Any thoughts?

for simplicity's sake...
I want to look into the menu.lst file for a line containing:
default 3
and change it to:
default 0
considering that menu.lst is a protected file and you need root to change it...
