Not to beat a dead horse here, but is anyone able to share / point me to a
working script that shuts down lightdm and launches ES?  Also, how did you
work out getting ES to restart lightdm when you exit it?  I don't mean to
sound like an idiot, but I'm still not that familiar with Debian-based
systems.  I've tried lifting a script from some KODI work, but that just
seems to restart X....

Thank you,
Rob
