why does xbmc close/hang when i assign a button in remote.xml to a shellscript - john.doe - 2011-12-06
i altered this file: /usr/share/xbmc/system/keymaps/remote.xml
and added a line to the glaobal section:
<four>System.Exec(sispmctl -o 2)</four>
it should run a shell command (i am on linux) but instead xbmc switches to windowed mode and is unnresponsible.
any thoughts?

You should use a python script to run the system command. System.Exec and System.ExecWait will minimize XBMC.
