I’m on Nobara 42 and use the pre-installed Lutris.
I’m trying to use pre-launch and post-exit scripts with Lutris.
My script looks like this: echo "pre launch" > /home/me/Documents/lutris.txt and creates the textfile when I run it manually.
I set the full path to the script in a game as a Pre-launch script and toggled Wait for pre-launch script completion to on.
The game just launches normally when I click play and the text-file is not created.
Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Does the script file have a shebang? (Something like
#!/bin/shas the first line)That’s what was missing. Thank you!
So it works now? If so, then glad to be of help.
Just remember that if your shebang points to sh, you can’t rely on bash-specific features. The shebang line basically tells the kernel to run your file with the specified program. So, for example, a file with
#!/bin/catwill print the full contents of the file (including the shebang) and#!/bin/echowill print the command line. (something like ./script arg1 arg2) As the echo command does not try to interpret arguments as paths, the content of the script would be ignored in that case.
