Maybe the mighty developers can help (I posted in the regular Kindle forum and got no help?)

I hope this is not against the rules to cross-post? Sorry?

I want to write a simple cron script to connect daily to Amazon to see if I have any documents in my cue. I have a Touch wifi only, and it does not wake and sync with Amazon unless I wake it and press the buttons to connect and sync. I'm just trying to automate it.

What I can do:

Code:

lipc-set-prop com.lab126.powerd wakeUp 1

will wake it up.

I can turn on wireless with

Code:

lipc.set.prop com.lab126.cmd wirelessEnable 1

How do I make it ask Amazon if there are any items to download? With com.lab126.ota ?? This is the part I'm ignorant? There is a /usr/bin/todo program? What's that for? Any help or ideas would be wonderful!

this will put it back to sleep after:

Code:

lipc-send-event com.lab126.powerd.debug dbg_power_button_pressed

Thanks!
