Hopefully you can help me i have posted this on the openelec forums but i rarely get an answer from there and if i do it usually takes a while so i though i would post here as well

from time to time openelec will freeze up on me and i have two options either press reset button on machine which cause of the location of the HTPC is problematic or go to another computer or my iphone and login with ssh and send the reboot command this works well however this requires me to keep a iphone, ipad etc.. on hand with wifi just to perform this option


i was wondering is there a command i can setup to force this reboot command when the xbmc UI freezes and perform a reboot

i have tried this option however the second option adding something to infrared rules tells me i cannot save because it does not exist

so looking for a working option if possible

I use irexec to map a button to restart xbmc. I find that a restart of XMBC is preferable to a reboot, however, you should be able to replace config = "/bin/killall -9 xbmc.bin &" with "/sbin/reboot now" if you elect to reboot rather than restart xbmc.

Re: does not exist, you probably are not creating the directories prior to the files.

For example:
nano /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/infrared.rules

should be preceded with:
mkdir /storage/.config/udev.rules.d

then run the nano command.
