Thank you all for your kind words. I never thought this HOW TO would get any response, as I thought the setup to be too specialized for my usage case.

So on to other things. For autostarting or restarting scripts/programs, there are some different possibilities with this setup.


For programs that require to be run as root (such as xboxdrv and sixad) use /etc/rc.local. You can edit it as ADMIN.

Code:

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

Place your code before “exit 0”.


For programs that should be run as USER and apply to all programs run in the Openbox session use ~/.config/openbox/autostart. You must edit this file as USER.

Code:

nano ~/.config/openbox/autostart

You might have to copy the files to ~/.config/openbox/ if you haven’t already done so earlier.

Code:

cp -R /etc/xdg/openbox ~/.config/

For programs that should be run when Kodi starts, stops or is killed use the files in ~/.kodi-openbox/. You must edit these files as USER.

Put some code here to run when a kodi-openbox session successfully starts

Code:

~/.kodi-openbox/onstart

Put some code here to run when a kodi-openbox session ends

Code:

~/.kodi-openbox/onfinish

Put some code here to run when a kodi-openbox session is sent a SIGINT or SIGQUIT

Code:

~/.kodi-openbox/onkill

It is also possible to use SystemD as DJBenson suggested.
