Restart xbmc with script?
I recently installed retropie on Xbian. I need a script to possibly restart xbmc, without su permissions.
I will be launching this script via emulationstation and a keyboard will not be plugged in. I know xbmc can restarted with "sudo service xbmc start". But is there a way to do it without sudo? So I will not be prompted to type a password? I am open to any idea's. |

Worked fine when I threw sudo in front of it. The "service" command will need a password. But please check the last 2 commands posted by kraleksandr: Terminal xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo cat /etc/sudoers | grep xbres xbian ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/xbian/xbres.sh You can edit "/etc/sudoers" and allow your script to run without extra sudo command. |
