kill xbmc from command line
#1
I have a kill script that I call from my remote.

However, it only kills it when xbmc is in windowed mode (\). It's like it's immune when it is full screen.

It worked when I used LIRC, but now I have a remote that is basically detected as a keyboard. LIRC is really messed up with 10.10 maverick.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
$(killall xbmc.bin &)

It's almost like I need to send the "\" keystroke first...but I'm sure there is a better way.

Any ideas on how to improve my script (I'm running a version of Ubuntu...mythbuntu) or send the "\" first?

Thanks

I have the same thing, a script called from my remote and
Code:
killall -9 xbmc.bin
works fine for me whether in fullscreen or not.

Yes, I have used that before too. However, I get the same result. Only works in windowed mode.

It worked with LIRC, but it doesn't seem to be working with a remote that doesn't use LIRC.... i.e. a keyboard
