I am looking for something exactly like you are supposing but I am struggling to understand your post.

• What is happening inside the brackets? Is this the command for checking the CEC status?
• How do I make this script start running everytime the pi boots?
  

CEC works with my tv as I can use the remote to control my pi when I am in xbmc. But via ssh using tvservice -M i cannot register any events from the TV when I switch sources or turn it on or off.

monitor mode doesn't work natively in libCEC and direct access to libCEC controls disables other open sessions.

enable SCREENOFF=yes in /etc/default/xbmc

this will upon start of xbmc create shared in and out files at /run/cc/in,out

then independently on running XBMC you can issue commands to cec bus as follows

echo "command" >> /run/cc/in

and read what is returned "cat or tail /run/cc/out"

if you need messages from 3rd devices (like promisc mode), then we need a small change in the code.
