I agree with tomrey. SHutdown script is needed. I want to use the shutdown script so a user can select a different remote.

Hi tekno,
the following construction is now working for me. I found it through a similar solution for VLC.
It's a shell script completely outside Kodi:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#kodi.sh
curl "http://192.168.1.90/cgi/control.cgi?login=p:**:****&p=1uuu"
kodi --standalone
curl "http://192.168.1.90/cgi/control.cgi?login=p:**:****&p=0uuu"

It's easy - as a newbee to linux I didn't know, that the script stops after starting Kodi and goes on working after Kodi is finished.
So instead of my curl statements you could call any other script and you have a "run before and run after" solution.
Should help with your remote selection challenge...
Regards
