Hi,

I added a custom menu entry to Home.xml:

Code:

<item id="8">
    <label>test</label>
    <onclick>System.Exec(/bin/sh sudo sh /home/xbian/test.sh)</onclick>
    <icon>-</icon>
    <thumb>-</thumb>
</item>

The sh does only contain

Code:

sudo reboot

When I click on the menu entry, it seems to be the RPi does something, because the mouse movement is not fluid for a second. But the system does not reboot. The log does not say anything about a failed script. It justs holds some info about 3 devices.

I also tried a python script:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python
import subprocess
subprocess.call("sudo sh /home/xbian/test.sh", shell=True)

Same result. Could someone help me please?

Too many sudos? How about

Code:

    ...
    <onclick>System.Exec(/home/xbian/test.sh)</onclick>
    ...

instead of..

Code:

    ...
    <onclick>System.Exec(/bin/sh sudo sh /home/xbian/test.sh)</onclick>
    ...

Thank you but I tried that too. Does not work.
I also tried

Code:

<onclick>System.Exec(/bin/sh /home/xbian/test.sh)</onclick>

afaik the /bin/sh is neccessary because System.Exec cannot run scripts directly. But I am not sure for 100%.

Fixed it myself.

I use RunScript(...) now.
