[Solved] Kodi shutdown command

---

Hello I added the kodi Plugin with a user defined Commando accorfing to this

http://kodi.wiki/view/list_of_built-in_functions

host	:	htpc
customOpenCommands		[1]
0		{2}
name	:	Shutdown
command	:	shutdown
plugin	:	kodi
active	:	true

Is this correct implemented? And how can I usw this now to shutdown kodi
-from a simple button
-from a rule

?

Thanks

@temp not sure about the configuration because i dont use that plugin but wouldnt it be easier to use shell-execute plugin?

When 10:00 THEN execute “sudo command to stop kodi”

Sth linke this

ssh user@192.168.1.2 sudo shutdown -h now

possible?

Not completely Solved
Solution will be posted shortly

on the system with pimatic you need to

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 

don’tadd any passphrase

and then execute

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server 

enter the password of the system and after that you can simple

  ssh user@server

without entering a password

but if you like to add this to the pimatic frontend

Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c ssh user@server shutdown -h now

Host key verification failed.

on the bash itself connect with putty it is working

But why?

@temp said in Kodi shutdown command:

But why?

Because pimatic executes the command as root. As each user has its own ssh realm you need accept the host key once as root or turn off host verification.
See https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/1827/solved-pimatic-ssh-rules-are-giving-error-host-key-verification-failed/2 for details

I created a button with a rule by pressing in it and now I geht

  error [pimatic-shell-execute]: [ShellActionHandler] Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c ssh root@htpc shutdown -h now
  Connection to htpc closed by remote host.
  11:35:45error [pimatic]: rule rule_execute_htpcpoweroff error executing an action: undefined
  11:35:45error [pimatic]: Error on evaluation of rule  condition of rule rule_execute_htpcpoweroff: undefined

@temp said in Kodi shutdown command:

Connection to htpc closed by remote host.

That looks like the shutdown command has succeeded and as a consequence of the shutdown the server has torn down the ssh connection
If you don’t like the error logging at this point it is possible to ignore the ssh exit code. I’ll post you an example later on

@mwittig Thanks

@temp The following should do

execute "ssh root@htpc shutdown shutdown -h now || true"

EDIT: I think the output redirection used in the referenced post, i.e. >/dev/null 2>&1 is neglectable in your case. At least, this was the case for me when I tested it by shutting down a remote Raspi

I needed
>/dev/null 2>&1

But now everything is good
