Thanks, "showlog -f" was really interesting.
I watched the download of an azw coming in over the air via my @free.kindle.com e-mail. Apparently, several processes are involved, and they are communicating via lipcd.
lipcd-probe shows some interesting things, for one the possibility to change logging levels on the fly for most (all?) of the processes.
I think it might be possible to trigger the cataloguing/indexing with some lipcd trickery.
Google doesn't seem to know anything about lipcd though, so this might be difficult.
Well, logfiles have been captured and are waiting for me to read them, so maybe enlightenment is just around the corner
