...i think the title sais it all...

i need a skript that shuts down my ubuntu media server over LAN...

thank you for your help!

[topfs2]

There is a thread that explains how to do it via webserver.
However you can do it with EventServer. tools/EventClients/examples/python/example_action.py and just add XBMC.Quit() as argument.

You will need to alter the IP in the file however

[topfs2]

Actually, have been meaning to make that script as a real client for quite some time and you pushed me into doing it

wget https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot...mc-send.py

Not sure it will make it into babylon though but just download it and run with python xbmc-send.py --help

[Masternoob]

thx i will try it

[Masternoob]

maybe thats a really stupid question but..

how do i run the script on the xbox with "python xbmc-send.py --help"

O_o

[PainToad]

umm SSH into it then 'shutdown now', why need a script?

You don't, you run it on the other computer.

an how do i shutdown the server from the xbox then?

[topfs2]

There was a reason I told you to run python xbmc-send --help ...
But since apparently we need to spoonfeed here is the output from the help.

Code:

python xbmc-send.py --help
xbmc-send [OPTION] --action=ACTION
Example
    xbmc-send --ip=192.168.0.1 --p 9777 --action="XBMC.Quit"
Options
    --help, -h.            Will bring up this message
    -i IP, --ip=IP.            Choose what IP to connect to (default=localhost)
    -p PORT, --port=PORT.        Choose what PORT to connect to (default=9777)

Surely this must be enough to get you started.

Cheers,
Tobias

ok maybe im really stupid or you dont understand what i want to do...

but...how should the line

Code:

xbmc-send --ip=whatever --p 9777 --action="XBMC.Quit"

shut down UBUNTU over lan?
xbmc is not running on the server....its only a fileserver...

[topfs2]

I have missunderstood you request completely, I believe you wanted to turn off your XBMC HTPC which runs on ubuntu. SO it's me who is stupid

Sorry, if you want to turn of your server from xbox I have no clue how to do it. And I can understand you got confused by me I'm really sorry

However you can as Paintoad said just ssh in to your ubuntu server from putty, or another linux machine.

popen won't work on xbox xbmc, sorry.
you can use the depreciated os.system instead. Google or see the python docs on how to do this.
