  • Connect Kindle to computer via USB

  • Navigate to Kindle root directory ??
  • Type: #!/bin/sh and hit return ??
  • Type: exec shutdown -P now and hit return ??

This will power down my Kindle completely? Not just sleeping anymore?

And this will work on a non-jailbroken Kindle?

Thank you!
If your kindle is not jailbroken and your mac has a shutdown command, the last command would shutdown your mac.

Without jailbreak, the only terminal access to a kindle is over the serial port.
