How can i make an update package to reboot Kindle after updating?

[kukyakya]

I'm writing a package which contains an init script to be started when Kindle restarts.

I wrote an installer script, which put the init script into /etc/init.d/xxxxx and symlinks to /etc/rcS.d/S80xxxxx .

I expected that kindle reboots after updating but it seems that it doesn't. The kindle framework restarts but not reboot.

I tried to put /sbin/reboot to the end of the installer script, but an update failure screen was displayed after rebooting and I should R 4 button to resume the kindle.

How can i make it reboots after updating?


P.S. I also tried making /tmp/.shutdown file in the installer script, but it literally shuts down kindle.

found that it doesn't need to reboot.

When kindle reboots, the default runlevel 2 inits, and again to the normal runlevel 5. If i choose to update kindle, it goes into the update runlevel 3 and back to the normal runlevel 5 when the updates's done.

So I made a symlink S71xxxxx in /etc/rc5.d/ and K71xxxxx in /etc/rc3.d/ . The init script starts and stops when i restart my kindle or update a package.



Here's kindle's runlevel :

runlevel 2 : boot runlevel ( default runlevel defined in /etc/inittab )

goes to runlevel 5 by /etc/rc2.d/S50battcheck

runlevel 3 : update runlevel

goes to runlevel 5 by /etc/rc3.d/S50updater

runlevel 4 : diagnose runlevel

reboots by /etc/rc4.d/S99diag_reboot

runlevel 5 : normal runlevel

runs the framework

runlevel 6 : kernel toggle runlevel

seems that toggles kernel by /etc/rc6.d/S50kernel_toggle and reboots by /etc/rc6.d/S95reboot ( don't know what toggle means )

With the newer OS, and the new packager which jailbreak your phone before installing the package, then restore it : you don't want to.

If you did, the Amazon standard upgrade package will stop working.

After installing an update, you'll have to instruct users to go into the settings menu and select "restart"
