I need to make simple script.


Well, atleast it sounds simple enough. I have UT2K4 installed in Knoppix but for it to load you have to first type $export LD_PRELOAD=libGL.so.1 into the shell to load the open GL library. I would like to combine the two steps into one executable file that will load the Open Gl Library, then run UT2K4 immediatly after. Please enlighten lol

Code:
#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD=libGL.so.1
Game executable name
Try that, change the third line ot the name of the ut2k4 executable

1) create a file called game.sh for ex
2) type in it :
#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD=libGL.so.1
./nameofthegame

3) save it

4) type : chmod +x game.sh --> to make it executable

5) if u want u could create a shortcut for it on the desktop

Thanks, that did it perfect. The first time it didn't work, I typed in ./ut2004 when i only needed to type ut2004 in the 3rd line. I figured it out pretty quickly though. Thanks for the help!!!
