Is there a way to pause before launching ED

[BrianGilbert]

I have multiple startup processes, one which requires user input before I want ED to load, is there any way to do this?

disable /autolaunch and it'll ask you what you want to launch

Not currently. I'd need to add in a pause after the third party processes launch and before elite is launched. I don't suppose the process you start takes a cmd line argument that you could provide to work around it is there?

Ugly workaround - run steam with PRESSURE_VESSEL_SHELL=instead in env. That way instead of running ED, proton will open a term inside proton container. When you are done with your manual input, writing "$@" in the term will execute the game.

Here is more about the env.
