Hi All:

Can someone please tell me how xbmc goes into suspend when you push the button on the remote or select suspend from the exit menu?
It must call up a script or something that puts the computer into suspend. I was hoping someone could tell me the name and location of that script.
Ubuntu 14.04 and xbmc Gotham.
Thanks to all.

depends on which methods are available on the target system: logind, upower, consolekit...
see https://github.com/yasij/xbmc/blob/login...er.cpp#L73

okay thanks guys.
I was going to try and create a way for mythtv to use the built in suspend of xbmc but it does not seem that simple.
thanks for the info.

You can trigger xbmcs suspend function via jsonrpc or xbmc-send.

Okay, but xbmc needs to be running for that to be true yes?
Appreciate the help.

Most of the ways use dbus. Which you can invoke via dbus-send.

Okay thanks for the info.
I will try and figure out the dbus method.
Appreciate the info.

Here is the UPower sleep message as an example. https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...l.cpp#L117
Which if memory serves me correctly
dbus-send --system org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

I am testing over ssh right now so I cant be sure but I believe this one will work.
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

I get this error but I believe it is caused from using ssh
Error org.freedesktop.UPower.GeneralError: not authorized

With the one you suggest I get the following error.
Must use org.mydomain.Interface.Signal notation, no dot in "/org/freedesktop/UPower"

This is what works for me in xbmcbuntu13

Code:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Suspend

iitywygms · 2014-07-22, 04:34

This worked for me.

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

Thank you to all for helping out a novice like me. It is really apreciated.
