I'll have to try that. Oddly, if I "killall nickel", as I did before 656, the screen display is upside down, on my AuraHD. (Not rotated exactly, the touch events are in their normal places. So I can poke at the top where the home Icon is supposed to be, not where it is on the bottom.)

I tried just remarking out the "reboot" and the home icon does get me back in nickel, but I had to poke the screen, to get a refresh, to tell where I was. {Sergey mentioned the same trouble, needing a refresh.)

Edit: tried the -STOP & -CONT switches and got the same result as just removing the "reboot" line. I'll keep this as it doesn't flip my screen image, and it should have stopped nickel, which could be almost as good as killing it.

Luck;
Ken

PS; @Markismus; killing the rest and closing the open files causes no problem.
