First of all make sure you have proper rights to perform the command:

Then create a xbmc-restart command:

printf '#!/bin/bash\nkill -9 `pidof xbmc.bin`' > /usr/local/bin/xbmc-restart

Make it executable:

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/xbmc-restart

Sorry, I don't understand, doesn't systemctl restart kodi. Restart?
