Thanks for the kind words. I agree with Pascal Hibon. With piCorePlayer you can simply pull the plug or if you want a nice button, then simply use a good looking power button that cuts the power. https://www.google.dk/search?q=power+button+led&safe=off&rlz=1C1CHMO_daDK488DK488&espv=2&biw=1252&bih=715&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=-Pi_VPrOHI2HPbfygYgG&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&dpr=1.1 As piCorePlayer is running in RAM you won't corrupt your SD-card and when it boots you will have the same setup as when you killed it. If you want to use a script for powering down piCorePlayer (which really is not needed) then you can easily make it persistent, by telling piCorePlayer where your script is located (add this directory to /opt/.filetool.lst) then save it by: sudo filetool.sh -b. Then your script is saved and will survive a reboot. Steen piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.
