Greetings, thank you all for your hard work! The following questions have partly been answered for older devices but not specifically for the PW4 (unless I'm blind).

What would happen if I issued a poweroff command from the command line on a jailbroken kindle paperwhite 4 (2018)?

Would doing that entail the risk of bricking the device or losing the jailbreak or other miseries that could be considered harmful/undesirable (like losing data, etc.)?

What would have to be done to start it up again afterwards? Is it even possible? How long would it take?

Does it even make sense to attempt doing that?
