[Solved] Change shell in script and keep child processes in new shell?

b4bblefish · 2013-03-03 00:04:03

Hi all,

I have been trying to replicate the following in a script:

# optirun bash
# wine steam

I have tried using

 optirun bash -c "command"

but apparently wine spawns programs as a child process and then terminates which exits the bash shell with optirun on it. Is there a way to keep the child processes inside the same shell too?

Thanks!

Aren't they still optirun'd?

Don't think so. I have tried the nvidia fix for it, but it doesn't work, but that might be because i'm using the bumblebee-nvidia package

Try something like

optirun bash -c 'wine steam; while pgrep wine; do sleep 5; done'
