stupid me...
remove the echo's before you try it (me and scripting,...)

Now it gives the command as it should be.

problem is that it asks for the sudo password after the converting (when i supposed to be AFK)
Is there a way to let the script ask the sudo password after the selection to shutdown or restart so you get output like

Code:

koen@Koen-PC ~ $ cd Downloads/test
koen@Koen-PC ~/Downloads/test $ ./CPSP.sh *.avi
(R)estart, (S)hut down, (L)eave computer on?
r
Enter sudo password to shutdown or restart after the conversion completes      <== when i choose R or S
password:
do stuff

(fat text is new part, non fat is what i am trying to explain)

i am 100% sure it would be:

Code:

echo"Enter sudo password to shutdown or restart after the conversion completes"

but then it must ask for the password and execute the restart/shutdown after the converting is finished

i know i ask alot, but like i said, me and scripting...

i found a way with editing sudoers file with visudo, so it don't need to give the password, but i hope there is a way to have it like described above (asking password after selecting reboot/shutdown and then first run the conversion and after converting doing the shutdown or reboot)

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

winff

WINFF(1)																  WINFF(1)

NAME

       winff - video and audio batch converter using ffmpeg

SYNOPSIS

       winff

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the winff command. This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original
       program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation pdf format; see below.

       WinFF is a graphical user interface for the command line video converter ffmpeg. It runs ffmpeg from the command line. So, you just pick
       your files and it does the rest.

       WinFF doesn't actually convert any video files. It just runs ffmpeg. Therefore, It will convert any video file that ffmpeg will convert.
       Conversely, if ffmpeg will not convert the file, then WinFF will not either.

SEE ALSO

       For more details, you should have a look at the pdf manual, available at /usr/share/doc/winff/winff.pdf
