    AFAIK there's no setting to change the exit behavior. Commented Nov 8 at 10:28

    On standard kodi using X11 I have obtain what I want. Only one problem: it use X11, so I use xfce, so is probably a behavior of Xfce power manager instead of kodi. Commented Nov 8 at 17:31

Create a shortcut on the screen:

  • For sufficiently fresh systemd:
sudo poweroff --force --no-wtmp --no-sync --no-wall
  • This will work for any Linux distro but it's a reboot command:
echo r | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger

Both these commands will shutdown/reboot your system without closing any apps or writing any data to the disk. In short data will be lost.

  • Why add the --no-sync, why risk the data loss that may come with? AFAIK cache will not prevent the shutdown, just add a few ms to the shutdown sequence. Commented Nov 9 at 16:29
  • There is no screen, is kodi only on omsc. Commented Nov 9 at 19:20
  • @PhilipCouling They said "I want to shutdown it immediately when i press button, how to do?" Syncing caches can take quite some time. Commented Nov 22 at 10:38
  • @ArtemS.Tashkinov okay this answer should pobobably contain a caveat to explain that since it's a very specific interpretation of the word "immediately". In context of the question I think many would read that word as meaning only "don't wait for user confirmation" and not expect skipping other important shutdown steps. Commented Nov 22 at 10:56
