MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - K4 BEGINNER: Script to sleep/wake up periodically

mattcd216 · 01-07-2023, 01:49 PM

Struggling a bit.

I saw in one of the threads linked that

Code:

lipc-send-event com.lab126.powerd.debug dbg_power_button_pressed

simulates the lock button being pressed.

So a simple script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
lipc-send-event com.lab126.powerd.debug dbg_power_button_pressed
sleep 5
lipc-send-event com.lab126.powerd.debug dbg_power_button_pressed

would achieve what I'm after, if I could schedule it to run periodically.

Does a jailbroken kindle have a cron scheduler, or similar?

Appreciate the help.
Matt
