csgo-handler 1.1.2

Daemon to run a program when CS:GO starts and stops

csgo_handler

Program that detects when CSGO is launched or closed and runs a script.

This program only works on Linux as it depends on inotify.

Configuration

The configuration file location respects XDG, and will try the following paths, in this order:

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/csgo_handler.yaml
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/csgo_handler.yml
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/csgo_handler/csgo_handler.yaml
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/csgo_handler/csgo_handler.yml
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/csgo_handler/config.yaml
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/csgo_handler/config.yml

NOTE:

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME will default to $HOME/.config on most systems.
• A lazy match is used, meaning the first file that exists will be used.
