          @lostless Thanks for this. I've found the problem. The runcommand.sh script changed a bit 3 days ago. I just have to adapt my Regular Expression and make it stronger. Wait a little, I'll try to sort it on our script.

            @lostless I made my tests on a shell where there's no RetroPie installed and I believe it will work fine. But, you know, sh!t happens...

            Try this version, please (feedback would be appreciated):

            #!/bin/bash
            # Terminate any emulatorcall!
            # This works just for RetroPie!
            emucall="$(sed -n 4p /dev/shm/runcommand.info | tr -d '\\"' | tr '^$[]*.()|+?{}' '.' | sed 's/[^ ]*=[^ ]* //g')"
            # If there's an emulator running, we need to kill it and go back to ES
            if [[ -n "$emucall" ]]; then
                emupid="$(pgrep -f "$emucall")" 
                pkill -P "$emupid"
                kill "$emupid"
                wait "$emupid"
                sleep 5 # maybe it can be lesser
            fi
            

            maybe I'll try to simplify that crazy line with a simpler regex later... ;-)

              @meleu Its working in retroarch now im going to patch in into my mauseberry shutdown script!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE THE MAN
              But kodi is not working
              https://ghostbin.com/paste/uqo6e
              debug of kodi not exiting.
              not a big deal if kodi does not work. Just kind of want my reset button to be the end all to go back to ES.

                Here it goes another version, trying to get kodi too:

                # Terminate any emulatorcall!
                # This works just for RetroPie!
                emucall="$(sed -n 4p /dev/shm/runcommand.info | tr -d '\\"' | tr '^$[]*.()|+?{}' '.' | sed 's/[^ ]*=[^ ]* //g')"
                # If there's an emulator running, we need to kill it and go back to ES
                if [[ -n "$emucall" ]]; then
                    emupid="$(pgrep -f "$emucall" | tr '\n' ' ')"
                    pkill -P "$(echo $emupid | tr ' ' ',')"
                    kill "$emupid"
                    wait "$emupid"
                    sleep 5 # maybe it can be lesser
                fi

                  @meleu it works!!!!!! but now it looks like i blew out the gpio pin for my reset button. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. That what i get for using a different build without gpio setup. GPIO DANGEROUS TO USE if not setup?

                      @meleu has nothing to do with the script. that works . i was testing with another memory card without my gpio setup so i had 3.3v through a 10k resistor to the gpio. i think i burned out my gpio pins
                      Permissions issue I think. Reinstalled and gpio is now working

                        @meleu ;) So you see ... PID numbers are better to handle ;)
                        But I think in the kodi-case a simple pkill kodi would be better. Or am I wrong? Sorry I never will get the result as I never will install Kodi on my Pi alongside with RetroPie ;)

                          @lostless hey man, would you be kind enough to test this version?:

                          #!/bin/bash
                          # the "sed" command below isn't a crypted message, it's just a Regular Expression
                          # If you are very curious, feel free to ask.
                          emucall="$(sed '4!d; s/\([\\"]\|[[:alnum:]_]\+=[^ ]* \)//g; s/[][(){}^$*.|+? ]/\\&/g' /dev/shm/runcommand.info)"
                          
                          # If there's an emulator running, we need to kill it and go back to ES
                          if [[ -n "$emucall" ]]; then
                              emupid="$(pgrep -f "$emucall" | tr '\n' ' ')"
                              pkill -P "$(echo $emupid | tr ' ' ',')"
                              kill "$emupid"
                              wait "$emupid"
                              sleep 5 # maybe it can be lesser
                          fi
                          

                          Thanks in advance.
