Scripting
Pegasus supports calling external scripts and executables on certain program events.
1. The scripts directory
First, find your config directory and create a new directory there called scripts (eg. ~/.config/pegasus-frontend/scripts/).
2. Event directories
Inside the scripts folder, create a new directory for the kind of events for which you want to react:
| Name | When |
|---|---|
quit | on program quit |
reboot | on system reboot (also calls quit first) |
shutdown | on system shutdown (also calls quit first) |
config-changed | on the change of any configuration option |
controls-changed | on change of the control settings (also calls config first) |
settings-changed | on change of the regular (non-control) settings (also calls config first) |
game-start | before starting a game |
game-end | after finishing a game |
3. Script calling
Put your executable scripts or binaries into these new directories. They will be called in alphabetic order when the event happens.
