A small program that allows you to set the OS that will be booted on the next (re-)boot. You need to have systemd-boot set up as your boot loader.

On Linux with systemd, you can already do all of this via bootctl set-oneshot or systemctl reboot --boot-loader-entry=. However, on windows or non-systemd linux distributions this is not possible out of the box. This program is here to help.

Requirements:

• mingw-64

For tray program:

• gcc
• pkg-config
• libappindicator

Run either systemd-reboot-console(.exe) or systemd-reboot-tray(.exe) depending whether you want to run the interactive console version or having a persistent system tray menu. Note that on windows you will need to run the programs as administrator and on linux with root permissions (i.e. sudo).

1. Start Task Scheduler
2. Go to Action->Create Task
3. Give it a name and check Run with highest priviliges
4. Go to Actions->New and Browse select systemd-reboot-tray.exe and press Ok
5. Go to Triggers->New and choose At log in and press Ok
6. Finally press Ok to create the task
