Booting to OS X from Windows once

Hey guys,

Has anyone ever tried to boot from Windows to OS X only on the next boot using a command line? From OS X to Windows is [sudo bless --device /dev/disk0s4 --legacy -setBoot -nextonly"] and from Windows to OS X permanently is [c:progra~1Bootca~1ootcamp.exe -StartupDisk "Mac OS"]

Would anyone know what switches are available to make Windows boot to OS X just once instead of as a fixed startup disk?

It's a bit old but have you tried what http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3802 suggests?

Thanks for the reply John. I actually am using that cmd from apple. I was hoping they had some sort of switch to make it reboot only once instead of setting the boot volume indefinitely. I could never find anything on this except the other way around with OS X rebooting to Windows only once.
