Writing a simple script/function

[ksaul]

I use this command very often inorder to burn xbox games and it would be alot easier if i could just make a commannd line function where i pass it the location of the .dvd/.iso file.

growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760 -dvd-compat -speed=2 -Z /dev/dvd=<LOCATION OF THE .ISO FILE>

was thinking it could work something like this

cd /home/user/desktop/FOLDER LOCATION OF ISO
burnGame <NAME OF .ISO>.iso

any help, or if someone wants todo it for me?

What about using a bash alias for

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

Add something like

gameburn='growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760 -dvd-compat -speed=2 -Z /dev/dvd='

to your .bash_aliases file
And then in the terminal just type gameburn followed by the location.

Did some googling and went with this method:

Use your favorite editing program and edit ~/.bashrc

function burnGame ()
{
growisofs -use-the-force-luke=dao -use-the-force-luke=break:1913760 -dvd-compat -speed=2 -Z /dev/dvd=$1
}

Then save the file and quit. Then go to the command line and do "source ~/.bashrc" will make the changes live.
