Reboot command?

[neil_swann80]

Non-root and firmware above v5
This simple command seems to work:

iv2sh reboot

Rooted devices should also be able to run:

/mnt/secure/su reboot

Non-root and firmware below v5 (and older devices?)
A reboot script that piggybacks off Koreader's restart option:

#!/bin/sh

koreader=/mnt/ext1/applications/koreader
picview=/ebrmain/cramfs/bin/picviewer.app
bootlogo=/ebrmain/logo/bootlogo/PocketBook.bmp

cd $koreader

# create reboot.lua within applications/koreader dir
if [ ! -e "reboot.lua" ]; then
  echo "#!./luajit" >> reboot.lua
  echo "require(\"setupkoenv\")" >> reboot.lua
  echo "local DataStorage = require(\"datastorage\")" >> reboot.lua
  echo "G_reader_settings = require(\"luasettings\"):open(" >> reboot.lua
  echo "DataStorage:getDataDir()..\"/settings.reader.lua\")" >> reboot.lua
  echo "local Device = require(\"device\")" >> reboot.lua
  echo "Device:reboot()" >> reboot.lua
fi

# opens the default pocketbook logo to act as restart splash screen
$picview "$bootlogo" & ./reboot.lua

Pockebook is a Linux, so simple `reboot` should work.

Needs root, can't be used under standard user 'reader'.

If you have a rooted device this may work:

/mnt/secure/su reboot

If you look in the PocketBook::reboot() function, they make a call into the Inkview library to initiate the reboot. You could write your own trivial Inkview application that just makes the same call and run that. Whatever you do, you will probably need to go through the Inkview interface because you don't have the root privileges required to change the run level from the command line.

In case you don't have the code, here is the call:

inkview.iv_ipc_request(C.MSG_REBOOT, 1, nil, 0, 0)

That is written in LUA, in C it would probably be:

iv_ipc_request(MSG_REBOOT, 1, NULL, 0, 0);

Lovely! Thanks again rkomar

EDIT:
This alone should work:

iv2sh reboot

[rkomar]

Nice find! It looks to be the simple Inkview program that I was suggesting, already installed on the system. It does seem to have a strange selection of supported functions, though. I guess that those were the ones needed by some shell scripts written for the system.

It isn't available on my older devices. It seems to be a newer addition to the system.

I think "iv2sh" may only appear from firmware version 5 onwards?

My initial koreader fudge-fix *should* still work with older devices.
