MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Forma How can I make my Forma auto power off after 24 hours of no taps or button presses?

@Lucas Malor: But poweroff does, and poweroff *is* the halt applet in busybox (this is incidentally why I linked to the source of the applet because it made that fact fairly obvious, even if you're not familiar with busybox's applet backend)

.

And, yeah, your script will definitely get shafted by a suspend, resuming only on... resume

.

(EDIT: And someone already mentioned KOReader's own sleep script logging as an example, so, good job, everyone

).

I'm not familiar with /etc/pm/sleep.d, but that sounds like something controlled by a fancy-ish init system, which, err, is definitely not applicable to the Kobo, since they're using one of the simplest boot process out there (especially as opposed, to say, a Kindle, where upstart's depgraph can induce chtulhuesque nightmares).

.
(It's also not the case on my desktop w/ OpenRC, FWIW).

EDIT: Wheee, missed a new page!
