I have a very slow connection so I need to let games downloading during sleep time and I want Lutris to shut down the computer after installation or run a custom command after game installation after failed to install maybe writing a log when it fails to install.
I think it would be helpful if you could run the installer from the command line and then have your shell shut down when Lutris finishes. You can already do this:
lutris lutris:<new-game-to-install>; shutdown
But there are two problems with that:
- The installer gets stuck waiting for user input at prompts. There’s a request for unattended installs already: https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/2907
- When the installer finishes, Lutris doesn’t exit. So the
shutdowncommand wouldn’t get executed until the user clicked the ‘X’ to close Lutris.

If its fast enough that you can use power settings to suspend the system sometime after the estimated time, you can just quickly set that. I often adjust the suspend time to do this.
You can also find different ways to schedule shutdowns https://askubuntu.com/questions/505929/shutdown-after-a-certain-time.
You can probably find a script to shutdown when network usage drops off for 10 minutes to whatever and just easily run that each time you download.
You can also make a bug report with Lutris git and see what the devs think. I don’t know if they will do that from here.

Unattended installs could be a thing. Just add a dialog upon launching an unattended game install and ask for manual post install setups needed in some installers.
