Can someone help me with a script?
 
Hows it going, I am playing Quake these days and to get sound I need to emulate oss so I need to type into xterm (as ROOT)

echo "tyr-glquake 0 0 direct" >/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "tyr-glquake 0 0 disable" >/proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss


Then logout of ROOT and cd into the quake folder as myself and type

./tyr-glquake -game hipnotic -hipnotic

to play. I tried a simple script but keep getting a bad interpreter error, file not found.

#!/bin/bash
echo "tyr-glquake 0 0 direct" >/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
echo "tyr-glquake 0 0 disable" >/proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss


I run this as root in the quake directory where tyr-glquake is. I am new to scripts so would guess that maybe there is a path issue, the script is chmodded to 777 btw. Is there any way to login as root, execute the two lines, logout, change into the quake directory and then execute the last line to get quake running? It would be a whole lot easier. I can get Hello World script working so some of them work. Thanks

Try this -

#!/bin/bash
sudo echo "tyr-glquake 0 0 direct" >/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss
sudo echo "tyr-glquake 0 0 disable" >/proc/asound/card0/pcm0c/oss

also make sure you are in the "sudoers" file, if not, run the command "visudo" as root and add your account name to run the commands without need of password.
