'notify' and 'out' are the start up files...... Thanks!

Now I wonder if it is possible to playback different wav files depending on whether the pi is rebooting or powering off? I guess somewhere there are scripts that handle this and could be modified to do this? Aim would be to have a TTS prerendered file play to inform if the pi was rebooting or shutting down.

Solution A)

Look into file /etc/init/progress-shutdown.conf

You can copy this file to a name you want and insert your commands you want to run

For example

Code:

cp /etc/init/progress-shutdown.conf /etc/init/dudel-reboot.conf
cp /etc/init/progress-shutdown.conf /etc/init/dudel-halt.conf

and modify start on in both copied files

start on [0] --> runs on halt
start on [6] --> runs on reboot

Solution B)

look into file /etc/default/xbmc

variable SCROFFRUN

defines a custom shutdown script

You have to figure out if you are in reboot or shutdown mode

Thank you so much for the hints and pointers. As soon as I can I will take a look (too much toothache for now).

You can add your own sounds at startup? That´s cool!
