Implemented SlingKicker tool to launch internet recovery and internet diagnostics on Macs. I think that would be a cool feature.
SlingShot supports 4 modes that should be received by it as LoadOption:
RecoveryModeDisk- Equivalent to CMD+RRecoveryModeNetwork- Equivalent to CMD+OPT+(SHIFT)+RDiagsModeDisk- Equivalent to DDiagsModeNetwork- Equivalent to OPT+DFor recovery mode
internet-recovery-typevariable should be set to:default- Download the first or the nearest compatible macOS version for the machine.latest- Download the latest compatible macOS version for the machine.We can also customize the server address from which the OS image will be downloaded by setting
AppleOTARecoveryServerAddressvariable.SlingKicker supports 6 modes that should be received by it as arguments:
RecDisk- Equivalent to CMD+R +internet-recovery-type=defaultRecDiskLatest- Equivalent to CMD+R +internet-recovery-type=latestRecNet- Equivalent to CMD+OPT+SHIFT+RRecNetLatest- Equivalent to CMD+OPT+RDiagDisk- Equivalent to DDiagNet- Equivalent to OPT+DI think SlingShot has a fallback to Internet Recovery in case the startup via CMD+R fails. Therefore, for RecDisk and RecDiskLatest, the
internet-recovery-typevariable is set.As far as I understand
internet-recovery-typeshould be set only in case of recovery.Some code was taken from BootKicker.
