Startup & Shutdown
autostart.sh
The
autostart.sh script runs at the start of userspace boot. It can be used to run commands before Kodi starts. It does not exist by default, but you can create it using nano.1
nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh
Copied!
You can place any commands in the script, but note they will block the boot process until they complete, so most uses of
autostart.sh require you to "background" and delay the commands, e.g. the following script sleeps for 20 seconds and then runs a kodi-send command to update the video library.1
(
2
sleep 20
3
kodi-send --host=127.0.0.1 -a "UpdateLibrary(video)"
4
)&
Copied!
The network stack will be up when the script runs.
autostop.sh
The
autostop.sh script runs during the shutdown process, but before the network is shutdown. It does not exist by default, but you can create it using nano.1
nano /storage/.config/autostop.sh
Copied!
Like the
autostart.sh script you can place any commands in the script, and they will block the shutdown process for up to 5 minutes and then will be terminated automatically.autostop.sh is avalable as of LibreELEC 10.0.2 or LibreELEC 11 nightlies 2022-02-04.shutdown.sh
The
shutdown.sh script run during the shutdown process. It does not exist by default, but you can create it using nano.1
nano /storage/.config/shutdown.sh
Copied!
Unlike the
autostart.sh script the network stack will not be up when the script runs and the shutdown.sh script should follow the following template to ensure commands are executed during the correct event, i.e. you can run different commands for a reboot event to halt event, or put commands outside the case ... esac as a catch-all.1
case "$1" in
