grub-script-check: Check a specific script file for syntax errors.
$ grub-script-check ${path-to-grub_config_file}
try on your machine

The command "grub-script-check" is used to check the syntax of a GRUB configuration script file (.cfg or .lst file). This command helps identify any syntax errors or typos in the GRUB configuration file, which is important for the proper functioning of the GRUB bootloader.

To use the command, you need to provide the path to the GRUB configuration file as an argument. For example, if your GRUB configuration file is located at "/boot/grub/grub.cfg", you would use the command:

grub-script-check /boot/grub/grub.cfg

The command will analyze the file and report any syntax errors or inconsistencies. It will notify you if there are any issues that could potentially cause problems during the boot process. This helps ensure that the GRUB bootloader can properly load and execute the specified operating system or kernel during system startup.

By running "grub-script-check", you can proactively catch and fix any configuration errors in the GRUB bootloader before they lead to boot issues and help maintain the stability of the system.
