Start emulationstation on button press

[Anonymous]

Hi folks!

I tried to add a button for restarting emulationstation.
It should kill the actual running emustation, and the restart it (as user).

The line marked with #Restart isnt woking like i expect, any ideas how to implement that?

Thanks

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
import os

pin = 26
prev_input = 0;

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD);
GPIO.setup(pin,GPIO.IN);

while True:
	input = GPIO.input(pin);
	if ((not prev_input) and input):
		print("Button pressed")
		os.system("killall emulationstation")
		os.system("echo 'Restarting emulationstation'")
		time.sleep(2.0)

                #Restart
		os.system("su -c 'emulationstation &' -s /bin/sh pi")

	prev_input = input
	time.sleep(0.05)
