Well, based on the nudge from eschwartz and Ken, I took a look at this. And it is definitely a bit more complicated than:

I refuse to believe that this is the first time anyone thought of running custom shell scripts on demand on the Kobo.
If I can get Syncthing running on the Kobo via SSH, I guess I can reverse engineer how to hack the relevant menu entries, or in the worst case ask someone for help.

Granted, before today I've not done anything more tricky on the Kobo than install Koreader and KSM. So it could just be inexperience on my part. I've now installed dropbear on the Kobo and put Syncthing on it. But I'm getting an error saying that the Kobo is refusing to let Syncthing open a port, similar to https://forum.syncthing.net/t/16-32-...-address/668/4

Poking around on the Kobo and about 1/2 an hour of internet searches hasn't clued me in to what the problem might be. I don't see any firewall rules (iptables or otherwise) on the Kobo. Maybe I need to add some lines to /etc/inetd.conf.local (and perhaps /etc/services)? I'm afraid I don't have any experience with inetd. I probably just need to read through some man pages (maybe if I get some time this weekend) but any tips in the meantime are welcome.
