Can someone modify this script and add a system restart script with it ;)

[O.M.A.A]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to make 3 buttons on my retropie console, I have already made 2 buttons: these are shutdown button, and reset button that exit emulator.

Here is the script that was used for these 2 buttons ( Thanks to @mitu and @cyperghost ) :

#!/usr/bin/python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import subprocess

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

shutdownPin=5
resetPin=3

GPIO.setup(shutdownPin, GPIO.IN)
GPIO.setup(resetPin, GPIO.IN)

oldButtonState1 = True

while True:
    #grab the current button state
    buttonState1 = GPIO.input(shutdownPin)
    buttonState2 = GPIO.input(resetPin)

    # check to see if button has been pushed
    if buttonState1 != oldButtonState1 and buttonState1 == False:
        # shutdown
        subprocess.call("shutdown -h now", shell=True,
          stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
        oldButtonState1 = buttonState1
    
    if not buttonState2:
        # Reset emulator
        print "Reset pressed"
        subprocess.call("/home/pi/scripts/multi_switch.sh --es-closeemu", shell=True,
          stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

    time.sleep(.3)

I want to add to it a restart button that restart the system. Thanks in advance ;)

Seems like you know just enough to be dangerous 😜
You can copy and modify your Button1 code, just use "shutdown -r now" instead.
