Launching Attract Mode from Emulation Station via script

[flagrant99]

Under roms I have a scripts folder.
In the script folder I have
AttractMode.sh

#!/bin/bash
pkill emulationstatio
attract

It works. But just wondering if there is a better way to exit ES and launch attract mode from within it?
Basically I want a script command to jump back and forth.

You can try running AttractMode and ES in a loop, from autostart.sh

while true; do
emulationstation
attract
done

If you want to start AM, then exit ES normally and vice-versa. If you want to stop/reboot, use ES's menu for that.

@mitu Thx. Never thought of that. Exiting one will just start the other and each will shutdown/save properly. Nice :)
