[Spacewalk-list] Hide inactive Kickstart profiles from pxe boot menu

[Sebastien Leterrier]

For reference, here is the answer to my question:

# cobbler edit profile --name=<profile_name> --enable_menu=0



This change is permanent and won't be reverted back to 1 when the Kickstart profile is edited and saved via the GUI.

Following some investigation, what I am trying to achieve here is to override the global cobbler option "enable_menu" on a Spacewalk kickstart profile basis.



/etc/cobbler/settings:

<...>

# controls whether cobbler will add each new profile entry to the default

# PXE boot menu.  This can be over-ridden on a per-profile

# basis when adding/editing profiles with --enable-menu=0/1.  Users

# should ordinarily leave this setting enabled unless they are concerned

# with accidental reinstalls from users who select an entry at the PXE

# boot menu.  Adding a password to the boot menus templates

# may also be a good solution to prevent unwanted reinstallations

enable_menu: 1

<...>



How can I specify enable-menu=0 for a specific kickstart profile?
