Pegasus supports calling external scripts and executables on certain program events.

1. The scripts directory

First, create a new directory called scripts inside the config directory:

• Linux: ~/.config/pegasus-frontend or /etc/xdg/pegasus-frontend
• Windows: C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\pegasus-frontend

2. Event directories

Inside the scripts folder, create a new directory for the kind of event you want to script:

Name	When
quit	on program quit
reboot	on system reboot (also calls quit first)
shutdown	on system shutdown (also calls quit first)
config-changed	on the change of any configuration option
controls-changed	on change of the control settings (also calls config first)
settings-changed	on change of the regular (non-control) settings (also calls config first)
game-start	before starting a game
game-end	after finishing a game

3. Script calling

Put your executable scripts or binaries into these new directories. They will be called in alphabetic order when the event happens.
