Hi I'm new to XBMC I have simple question; how do I restart xbmc from a terminal ?
what I've been trying to do when xbmc hangs is typing the command " ps aux | grep xbmc" and killing the pidof xbmc, this doesn't work. Can someone show me a better way ?

xbmc is a shell script, you have to kill xbmc.bin and it will exit and restart cleanly, killall -9 will kill it hard, you should only do that if it's frozen.
