Search is not working for me right now. How can I start, stop and restart xbmc from ssh command line?

open XBMC.app
stop is harder, you need to send the right kill signal and that escapes me right now.

na ... on ATV2 you can't explicitly start XBMC ... you can do a:

killall AppleTV

This will bring you out of XBMC and back to frontrow ... you have to start XBMC by yourself using the remote then after ...

Dammit, this is why we have a separate forum for ios/atv2.

Moving this thread.

I need to remotely start xbmc. I can ssh to apple tv. Is there no way of launching xbmc after killall AppleTV ?

only way would be to set up direct XBMC booting:

but you lose access (until it's uninstalled) to the native ATV2 interface (such as netflix).

That works (since it is easy to disable if I ever need to get to ATV2 interface). Thanks!

beware that there's a watchdog around. 'apt-cache search bone' for a way to give the watchdog a bone to chew on.
