Useful Scripts
Prevent Idle Shutdown
This script uses thekodi-send tool to prevent Kodi from shutting down if there are active SSH, SAMBA, or NFS connections. The script checks every 60 seconds, and if at least one connection exists the commandInhibitIdleShutdown(true) is sent to Kodi.
Create/storage/.config/prevent_idle.sh with the following content:
#!/bin/shIDLE_SHUTDOWN_ALLOWED_LAST_STATE=-1while truedo KODI_RUNNING=`ps -A | grep kodi.bin | grep -v grep | wc -l` if [ 1 == $KODI_RUNNING ] ; then SSH_ACTIVE=`netstat -tnpa | grep 'tcp.*:22.*ESTABLISHED.*' | wc -l` NFS_ACTIVE=`netstat -tnpa | grep 'tcp.*:111.*ESTABLISHED.*' | wc -l` SMB_ACTIVE=`netstat -tnpa | grep 'tcp.*:445.*ESTABLISHED.*' | wc -l` [ $SSH_ACTIVE -gt 0 -o $NFS_ACTIVE -gt 0 -o $SMB_ACTIVE -gt 0 ] && IDLE_SHUTDOWN_ALLOWED=1 || IDLE_SHUTDOWN_ALLOWED=0 if [ $IDLE_SHUTDOWN_ALLOWED_LAST_STATE != $IDLE_SHUTDOWN_ALLOWED ] ; then IDLE_SHUTDOWN_ALLOWED_LAST_STATE=$IDLE_SHUTDOWN_ALLOWED kodi-send --action="AllowIdleShutdown" if [ 0 == $IDLE_SHUTDOWN_ALLOWED ] ; then kodi-send --action="InhibitIdleShutdown(false)" else kodi-send --action="InhibitIdleShutdown(true)" fi fi fi sleep 60doneCall the script from/storage/.config/autostart.sh so it runs as a background task. It will continue to monitor the state of connections until the device is halted.

(/usr/bin/bash /storage/.config/dynu_update.sh)&Note: If you set the refresh rate under 60 seconds thecheckip.dyndns.org server will probably block your requests causing the script to fail.
