Albeit being not strictly XBMC question but is there a way via cron or other mechanism to shutdown XBMC at exactly for example 3 am and go back to frontrow (or whatever it was named in atv2)
The idea basically is if I fell asleep during watching some movie the cron will kill XBMC and atv2 sleep function will trigger later. I usually run some movie at set my TV to shut up an hour later. However after the movie ends XBMC starts the screensaver and keeps the while led on. I know there is a timer function on XBMC but I don't want to use that, I prefer a cron solution, it will not force me to set it each night.
BTW can such functionality be achieve by Python plugin. I might do some coding..
Thanks in advance
