Help with my BASH script with WINE and inotifywait
I'm trying to improve a script that I have running on a Ubuntu desktop that basically runs a powerpoint presentaions with announcements to TV's in diffrent parts of our building. My current script uses WINE to execute powerpoint viewer.
The scripts that I currently use relies on inotifywait's ability to monitor a directory for changes and has the ability to execute a command when it notices a change.
As you can see I have the inotofywait script to reboot the machine when it notices a change and the other script starts the newest poworpoint presentation (ppt and pptx) at boot. Can you think of a way to make this one simple script also does inotifywait have a way to only watch of certain types of files instead of executing after any change?
Please, for god's sake, if your going to refer me to a web site, please dont bother replying. I have visited all web sites concerning wine and I haven't seen one that quite solves the problem am having.

Hi, maybe someone could help me optimizing this little script.
It works so far, but when running, reboot does not work. If kill inotifywait reboot from shell works. I think some optimization is required here.
This script starts at the end of the boot process, from an external device and... (3 Replies)
