Want to make a script that generates a welcome file with text inside it
by Sadshark from LinuxQuestions.org on (#548PY)
Hi all. I wanted to ask you guys a few questions about my first ever script I've made. The idea came to me today when I was building a custom linux distro (its ready and released now--don't worry, Im not here to fight that distro battle with folks). I found out a way to do it "Cheaply" i.e. without fancy tricks, just opening files from a an executable script, but I want to figure out how to do it the "cool" way, kapische? :P
So my idea was this:
I wanted to make an executable welcome file for my distro that
1. Opens a video
2. Generates a file with text inside it i.e. "welcome to my distro" on the desktop
The idea seemed so simple to me at first but I really blew my own mind trying to figure it out online. It's a lot more complicated than it sounds apparently. Anyways, does anybody know how I might go about doing this? Thanks
