But I've been unable to execute shell scripts / binaries with this approach.

Is there a equivalent way of doing it in recent versions?

Thanks
As you noted in the link you quoted, the most recent update of that code was December 17, 2013.
Hmm....
That is approximately a zillion firmware revisions ago.

Even if the above still worked, you would have to have a jail broken Kindle (the original, a K5) to use the code.

So if you really must have this "feature", buy an original K5, then install a firmware version earlier than 5.2, then jail break the device, and THEN you can play with that code.

Note: KUAL replaced KindleMenu in January of 2013.
So you are looking at some really, really old code (like back in the days of "NativeBridge".
