Quit XBMC when TV is off

[Alex2108]

I got a very simple script for closing/starting xbmc with the TV. The only requirement is that the TV has a network connnection and answers to a ping. Just replace the IP with that of your TV (configure your router to assign always the same IP to the TV or set a static IP on the TV).

Code:

#!/bin/sh

if ping -c 1 -W 1 192.168.1.55 > /dev/null; then #tv on?
    if !(pidof xbmc.bin > /dev/null); then #xbmc running?
       /etc/init.d/xbmc start
    fi
else
    if (pidof xbmc.bin > /dev/null); then
       /etc/init.d/xbmc stop
    fi
fi

exit 0

I call this script every minute with cron so i get a maximum delay of one minute until xbmc will get the signal to start, which is ok for me.
NOTE: i'm using raspbian, but it should probably work with xbian too.
