Hello,

I have to run a part of my addon code as root (monitoring GPIO pins on Raspberry Pi) so I tried to insert this to my default.py:

Code:

import os
os.system("sudo python x.py")

but as I see XBMC igore this call, x.py won't run. Tried without sudo, same result.
If I run default.py from command line it works fine, calls x.py.

In the log everything seems OK:

Code:

Thanks,

You might need to state absolute path for the the x.py script.

Hello, I tried it, but exactly same result :-(

Code:

import os
os.system("sudo python /home/pi/.xbmc/addons/script.module.gpio/x.py")

os.system call from default.py with other sudo bash commands works fine.

Thanks,
