If you edit /etc/grub2.cfg (which is a link to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg) you
do NOT need to run NOTHING.  Just edit the file and it will work, no
commands to run at all.  And whatever you change there, esp if involves
paramaters to the kernel, such as rhgb and quiet, then those will
translate to each new kernel that it adds to it.

Maybe I am missing something that makes you run it for some odd reason?
