I have written an app for the Kindle to display some information.
To reduce the number of charging times(save power consumption), I want to stop all unnecessary background services. Is there a way to list all background services on the Kindle and kill unnecessary ones? ![]() Last edited by kdusr; 07-20-2024 at 06:54 PM. |

ps -A
this is command to see ALL packages. Get some inspiration from koreader.sh script inside koreader folder. kill packages (via killall or stop) one by one to make sure you are not killing processes needed for your use case. |

c.f., https://github.com/koreader/koreader...le/koreader.sh
Line 69 for the list, and Line 284 for when they are stopped. In KOReader, they are resumed after koreader exits. |

Hi Mergen3107, thanks for your reply, I searched in the forums, found your previous post from this link : https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=345556
Does this setting save a bit on power consumption? (and does this setting block OTA?) Quote:

No, this doesn’t save you from OTA (you need renameOTAbin for this). I don’t think it saves you any energy neither.

I found some sample code on github for cleanup background process. https://github.com/mattzzw/kindle-cl...indle-clock.sh The following process will be killed: stop lab126_gui stop otaupd stop phd stop tmd stop todo stop mcsd stop x What is the "x", if the "x" is killed, when my application crashed, can I go back to the terminal? to re-enable the process , just run: start xxxx, is it right? |

Yes, with start. Or you can just restart Kindle if it doesn’t work
