erbusyd takes care of /dev/buttons... but in theory it is just a "eReader busy indicator daemon"

displayMgr manages somehow the e-ink display.
Quote:
Usage: displayMgr -<option> <argument>
no arguments : start server process (local access only)
-a : allow messages to be sent from any host (starts server process)
-h : display this message
-p : disable partial update
-w <filename> : load waveform from filename
the "waveform" is not a sound, but the signal used to clear or update the display. Note the -p option.

powerMgr reads the battery, beeps on low charge and all that.

contentLister is the file manager. It somehow supercedes other tasks, for instance it also opens /dev/buttons and /dev/fb0

etc/er_registry.txt is accessed by erregInit but no by contentLister. Strange. (EDIT: this happens because all the other programs access to the register via
liberreg)

I have a minor question. I can not see who executes home/root/start.sh
EDIT: OK, it is in rc5.d as S99start
