Hello
I am trying to execute some commands before and after llightdm starts

This is how part of my /etc/init/lightdm.conf looks like:

Code:

exec irsend SEND_ONCE AVR260 KEY_POWER &
    sleep 10 ;
    exec lightdm &
    sleep 30 ;
    exec irsend SEND_ONCE AVR260 KEY_POWER2

Code:

irsend SEND_ONCE AVR260 KEY_POWER

is used to turn on my amplituner
then i wanted to add some sleep to make sure it is up
after that lightdm should start
and when all services start from ~/.config/autostart
amplituner should be turned off by command

Code:

exec irsend SEND_ONCE AVR260 KEY_POWER2

So this is how it looks like now
On reboot amplituner starts - that part works fine.
On TV screen i am stuck on shell login screen and nothing hapends further
Then amplituner shuts down as expected.
So why i have problem with that "exec lightdm" command?
How can i modify this script to do what i want?

Happy New Year to everyone

Sorry for bump but no one have any thoughts or coments on this?

Ok then seems im doing it wrong way.
Command for turning on amplituner:

irsend SEND_ONCE AVR260 KEY_POWER

i need to start that after lirc starts and before lightdm is called.
What would it be the best place to put that or what would be best way to call it?

You could try putting the command in /etc/rc.local
