Software Shutdown using Atxraspi

[crazydude2]

@cyperghost Hi I think it is now working well. Thanks for all your help. What do you mean by posting outfindings? Just so people know
nano /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh had to be changed to sudo nano /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh to allow editing

and the script also had to be altered to

#!/bin/sh

esdir="$(dirname $0)"
while true; do
    rm -f /tmp/es-restart /tmp/es-sysrestart /tmp/es-shutdown
    "$esdir/emulationstation" "$@"
    ret=$?
    [ -f /tmp/es-restart ] && continue
    if [ -f /tmp/es-sysrestart ]; then
        rm -f /tmp/es-sysrestart
        sudo /usr/local/bin/softshutdown.sh 1
        sudo reboot
        break
    fi
    if [ -f /tmp/es-shutdown ]; then
        rm -f /tmp/es-shutdown
        sudo /usr/local/bin/softshutdown.sh 4
        sudo poweroff
        break
    fi
    break
done

@crazydude2 Outfindings? ... tell me if it works ;)

make 3 backticks liker here ```
in beginning and ending of codeblock
One backtick ` in beginning and ending of line or word makes it red
__ makes bold
~~ makes striceout
_ makes italic

I'm wondering that you need root-access for editing this file!

can you post me output of ls -l /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation please

@crazydude2 Okay correct... yes we need sudo for editing - forget that! thx

Now you can test shutdown via ES MainMenu... it should work like you press the button.
Have fun

[crazydude2]

@cyperghost Yes i can confirm it now works as it should. I have tried all combinations i can think of all with success. Thanks for all the help.

[cyperghost]

@crazydude2 Okay, keep in mind that if you update RetroPie it may happen you will loose settings to /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation.sh as the two lines I added will be erased. So you have to add them manually....

This will only affect the software-shutdown. Does the LED also blink if you choose software shutdown? I'm just interested to know ;) It should so as it triggers the same GPIO as the button press ;)

[crazydude2]

@cyperghost Yes the led does still flash on software shutdown

[cyperghost]

@crazydude2 Wow awesome! So have fun...
