made a simple command to change my power mode to "balanced-performance" (lenovolegion power mode for custom mode), works fine in terminal and running the file, but when listing it as a script in power management for when AC power is plugged in, i get this.

org.kde.powerdevil: Failed to run "/home/bombyb/custom.sh"

the contents of the script is this:

echo balanced-performance | sudo tee /sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile

not experienced at all with stuff like this so help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

If that's the whole script, then it is missing the #! header to make it runnable.

#!/usr/bin/bash echo this | sudo tee that

When the kernel refuses to recognize it as a known format, an interactive shell will run it anyway (by assuming /bin/sh), but most other programs don't have this fallback and won't be able to run scripts that don't correctly indicate their interpreter.
