I have tried a few things to get that .sh file to execute (which stops kodi prior to launching the emulator), but to no avail......... sh just for some reason complains that it can't find the file, no matter which directory I put it in
Hi berlinchair,
Some other guy in the Gamestarter addon thread also is having issues when launching shell scripts in Linux. Since I added the new launching mechanism based on the subprocess module in 0.9.6 I haven't tested launching of shell scripts. In my setup I always launch Retroarch and MAME which are ELF executables (the equivalent to Windows EXEs, in a way of speaking). Tonight I will have a look at this matter.
Also, if you like the technicalities, have a look here regarding the shell argument. Currently, AEL always sets shell = False but maybe for shell scripts in Linux this must be true. If so, I will create a per-launcher setting to enable this flag if I find it must be true for shell launchers.
