    When I tried to open the runcommand.log, it didn't exist. Could it be by another name?

    No, there's only one name and location - as in my previous post. Note that /dev/shm is memory backed, so if you rebooted the Pi, the contents are gone. You need to open the log file just after you launched a game (and it failed) in order to see the exact error after the launch.

  • piggyback script off the screensaver?

    @mitu ah ok good to know. I ended up using luma oled drivers that dont depend on the adafruit driver and they are working out nicely as screensavers for the oled screen. I will eventually have to revisit this issue because of the plans i have for the project but this has been very helpful. I now need to figure out how to launch a clear command for the screen just before shutdown to prevent burn in. The script i originally needed help with launches shut off commands for the multiple led hats and devices when the screensaver starts , including a 30min auto shutdown command. But when the pi shuts down though the oled keeps the pixels it was displaying last so lets hope the service im going to write works. Again thank you for your help as always
