No hdmi-cec control after running custom script

Hey guys

I have a script that runs in the background to get the power status of my tv. The script has the following condition in an if sentence:

Code:

$(echo 'pow 0' | cec-client -s -d 1 RPI) =~ "power status: on"

The abovementioned cec-client-command returns the anticipated result, but running the command makes Kodi "loose" the cec-control. In other words I cannot control Kodi with my remote anymore after the script is executed.

Can anyone help me determined if that is the right behavior and if so, how do I reconnect cec?

Thanks in advance.
