Restarting XBMC
I remember that some time ago XBMC was a service and I could restart it with service xbmc restart. Now it seems to me that it's not anymore. So, how do I restart it without restarting the whole system?

RE: Restarting XBMC
'Restart' appears to have a problem.

To get around this you need to do a 'sudo service xbmc stop' and then 'sudo service xbmc start'.

Hope this helps.

RE: Restarting XBMC
My question was: is xbmc still a service? Because I use the autocompletion and xbmc doesn't autocomplete after service as, for example, trannsmission or samba. If I write sudo service and then I type two ctrl it lists all the services and xbmc is not there

I'm still on xbian 1.0RC2 and I don't want to upgrade because I had the non starting xbmc problem.

RE: Restarting XBMC
That is probably because it is an Upstart job rather than a SysVinit service. ("Proper" Upstart commands are shorter though: "sudo stop xbmc", "sudo start xbmc".)

restart xbmc is rather upstart terminology problem.

"restart" handles special jobs.

"reload" is the term we are looking for. so "reload xbmc".

RE: Restarting XBMC
Thanks, I'm stuck to the old knowledge of debian.
Is there any news about the upgrade from 1.0RC2? Are all the issues solved?

re-enable snapshots on apt if disabled, upgrade. if anything wrong, rollback.
what you got to loose? max 1h of RPI cpu cycles (if too many updates Wink ).

RE: Restarting XBMC
I have RC2 without modification, snapshots should be enabled. How do I check it? And how do I rollback? Which command?
