I already found the command for waking up the Kindle (lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd wakeUp 1), but how do I start the syncing and can I put the Kindle back to suspend mode via another command or would I have to wait until it suspends automatically?
Any help on this is very appreciated, because if I can't find a way to accomplish the sync I'll have to buy a 3G Kindle

Although there is probably a better way, you can send key codes to automatically navigate the menu system. The source code for launchpad should help there. launchpad writes keycode events to /proc/keypad and /proc/fiveway.
EDIT: It would be much better to find and launch the sync app directly. Navigating the menu can be unreliable due to different options greyed out on different units, or at different times.
