Monitor games I'm playing and automatically cache updates/patches. #64

Hi folks.

I've got no idea about linux, but I managed to cobble enough info from videos/forums to get lancache and lancache-autofill installed.

I setup a chrontab to auto update lancache, so hopefully it keeps chugging.

My issue is that I want autofill to check steam every half hour or so for updates and patches to games i'm playing.

Is there a way to do this automatically? I'm running this pc headless in a cupboard.

Everything I can make out about autofill seems to depend on my running commands manually.

Maybe I just need more documentation on how to use autofill?

Hey I'm looking for a similar script - just that I don't have anything set up yet - and I found this article about cron jobs. Though I'm not sure whether that's a viable option or not, I hope I could still help you a bit.

This could actually be a simple way to solve the request by @Micksy Just use a schedule to re-run lancache-autofill steam:queue-users-recent-apps <YOUR_STEAM64_ID> on a regular basis and then followed by running lancache-autofill steam:start-downloading at some point.

I might have a look at doing something like this and report back, thank you for the idea @MrBullet75
