I am using the launcher plugin to start apps and games from xbmc but the performance kinda sucks since xbmc is still running in the background.

I saw someone somewhere meantioning something about a script that makes xbmc quit when starting an app/game and then restarting again but I cant find info about it anywhere.

Help please?

Example 1) simple bash scripts (i'm using something similar)

Example 2) perl script to switch between mythtv and xbmc

Example 3) Or just a simple but effective script like this, so clossing xbmc opens VDR in this example and closing vdr opens xbmc.

#!/bin/bash
NEXT=xbmc;
while true;
do
case "$NEXT" in
"xbmc")
xbmc
NEXT=VDR;
;;
"VDR")
startvdr
NEXT=xbmc;
;;
esac
done

I like basic

#!/bin/bash

killall -s 9 -w -r xbmc
/usr/games/supertux2
/usr/bin/xbmc

This has always worked for me with sdlmame and diablo ^_^
