# EFI Sync
Automatically install your kernel and initrd into the EFI when your Slackware system is updated.
```
Usage: ./efi-sync {install|watch}
- install: install the kernel and initrd into your EFI.
- watch: install on updates to your kernel
```
`efi-sync` watches your kernel path for updates. Once one is detected and the
package commands have completed, your EFI will be updated.
## Installation
Run the following are root to install this command:
```
cp efi-sync /usr/local/sbin/efi-sync
chown root:root /usr/local/sbin/efi-sync
chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/efi-sync
```
## Configuration
The command looks for configuration at /etc/efi-sync.conf.
Here is an example with the default values:
```
# The kernel path to watch.
KERNEL=/boot/vmlinuz
# The path to the EFI kernel.
EFI_KERNEL=/boot/efi/Slackware/vmlinuz
# The path for the initial ram disk to install.
INITRD=/boot/initrd.gz
# The path to the EFI's initial ram disk.
EFI_INITRD=/boot/efi/Slackware/initrd.gz
```
The initial ram disk (initrd) will be built automatically if
'/etc/mkinitrd.conf' exists.
