Command to reboot the PocketBook ?

Chris_77 · 12-29-2015, 05:53 PM

Hy all,

I' writing a little script for my PocketBook Touch Lux 3 and I want to know if there is a command that will restart the reader at the end of the script ?

Thank you ^^

The usual Unix programs for that (i.e. reboot, shutdown -r, telinit 6, ...) require root privileges on the ereaders, which you don't have. So, I don't think you can use those programs. There is a PowerOff() function in the Inkview API, so there is some daemon that can be poked for this. Maybe you can run strace on an app that calls PowerOff() and figure out how to do it? Anyway, it's going to take some jiggery-pokery to do it.
