When I telnet into my Kobo Libra 2 and run

Code:

qndb -t 60000 -s pfmDoneProcessing -m pfmRescanBooksFull

It does what you would expect as documented. But when I put that command in a shell script that is spawned from NickelMenu, it seems to not wait for the rescan to finish--it immediately goes to the next line of the script. I can add a manual sleep line in the script but I don't understand why the qndb command works in one context but not another. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
