Option to keep legendary running till game ends?

[DocMAX]

I created a script to start a game with legendary. Now i want to use somethinf like "wait $!" to keep the script running until game ends. It would be easy for me if the legendary exe/bin doesn't quit after game launches. Can something like this be implemented? Why does legendary stop it's own process anyway? Thanks.

You can refer to this closed PR for some of the reasons as to why this isn't possible to do in a consistent manner #524.

As a workaround you could parse the a command like with --dry-run and launch the game in your script with reaper https://github.com/Plagman/reaper. Reaper is so simple that you don't even need to compile it, if you change some cpp-isms (use of true), it can happily run as a script through tcc with this shebang #!/usr/bin/tcc -run

for windows it is difficult. i try to implement a windows version of reaper https://github.com/DocMAX/winreaper
but we really need it build into legendary!
