[SOLVED][REQUEST]Very simple bash script

Hello all! I need someone who could create a very simple script for me. I use growisofs to burn Xbox360 games and I use this line:

growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760 -dvd-compat -speed=2 -Z /dev/dvd=game.iso

As you can see, it's a very long line, so I can't remeber it.

So, I just need a simple script that use that line, so I won't have to type it myself.

I want something very easy. Only something that it would launch like that:

scriptname game.iso

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED][REQUEST]Very simple bash script

#!/bin/bash

growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760 -dvd-compat -speed=2 -Z /dev/dvd="$1"

That should do the trick! Just save that and chmod +x it. Then:
./scriptname game.iso

V That works also. Its better than mine. Mine is just too simple.

Re: [SOLVED][REQUEST]Very simple bash script

Notwithstanding the greatness of the script - but I'd rather put one liners in my .bashrc with a handy alias...
