That would be a Sickel Remover mod for people who want to do that. And if it turns out this method of removing sickel was not good (nickel keeps pinging, what are the side effects?), the Sickel Remover mod could be updated to do it a better way.

But my other mods are not supposed to break things, so - freezing sickel temporarily for a mod to do its work is OK, but disabling it entire would be invasive.

Code:
# Sickel Remover mod (one of many)

sed -i -e s/reboot/rebarf/g /usr/local/Kobo/sickel

# sickel still runs. sickel still pings (in case that matters somehow).
# but it no longer reboots.
