Hi folks, I’m tinkering a lot with bash scripts and I wonder if it is possible to make steam launch when the steamlink on my appleTV pings the computer to find out if it is working.

The issue is that I sometimes sit down at my TV and want to play, finding out my Steam Machine is offline due to steam not running, it being suspended or shut down.

Since the appleTV shouldnt be pinging the PC if steamlink is off it shouldnt be an issue, right?

Bonus points: Obviously I would then like to expand this to wake on lan but I’d also need games to run without login then. Does anyone have ideas to this?

Thanks for reading and have a good one.
