[APPLETV] Auto Reset AppleTV script - danmedhurst - 2011-02-03 00:46
Hi All,
Wanted to give a little back to you all.
I've put together a simple vbs script to kill the AppleTV process when / if you get a hang.

EDIT *** FIXED CONTENTS OF RAR - WRONG VARIABLE NAME USED *** SORRY!
It's just a simple vbs that invokes putty.exe, connects, issues the command and exits again.
open the .vbs file and change your password and IP and you're away.
Hope someone finds this useful.
Edit: Obviously this is for windows based users.

It should be simple enough to script an ssh client to do the same for Android.. I'll give it a go on my phone.

Fantastic, worked a treat
Second the Android idea, would be handy if you can do it!

Why don't you guys just have a shell script running in the background on Apple TV 2 and have it capture certain keypress from apple remote that trigger reset of Apple TV 2 ?
irw ?

That would be good if we can use a keypress combo, because of the limited buttons on the remote.

How about holding down menu+play for 5 seconds ?

Yeah something like the jailbreak button combination would work well if that's possible.

Gone a little beyond my expertese there.. I only really put this together because i know putty + vbs from stuff i do at work
