Here's my script...
Here's the script I've been using to boot Windows since shortly after I installed Boot Camp...
It's just a .command file sitting on my desktop. I click it, enter my pasword, press enter twice (once for fans, once for reboot) then walk away while it reboots.
I have rEFIt installed but I prefer this because I hate waiting for the machine to get to the rEFIt prompt after hitting "Restart" and the Startup Disk pref is a permanent setting while I generally want to boot into Windows only once. Granted I don't currently have NTFS-3G active but I do have it installed and I don't recall any problems with this method while it was activated. I'm also on 10.4 if that makes a difference.
Here's my script... (here's the fans part)
Ok... in case someone asks, here's how I crank my fans.
FanControlDaemon is the process used by Fan Control. You need to stop it or it might change the fan speed before you restart. smc lets you modify SMC values (it's literally the first version of the low-level tool that some awesome hacker released). The SMC tool (or code based on it's principles is what powers all of the fan control apps you can get now). There's 2 calls to smc because my MBP has 2 fans. They're set to 6000 RPM - the max for my machine. This is something I setup before the fan control apps existed which is why it uses this low-level tool. I'm also on a MBP rev 1, newer machines may not like these values. |
