Turning off KoReader

[embryo]

Does anyone knows how the KoReader is turning itself down?
I searched for any script with a name like "shutdown", "turnoff", "powerdown", etc., but didn't find anything.
I also noticed that the "suspend.sh" that was used some time ago is not longer needed!
So, where all the magic is performed?
Maybe in a lua file somewhere?

You might check the "Device" .lua. There are a bunch of new related menu items that even include a reboot of the device, I haven't looked at where they are implemented.

Luck;

Thanks for the tip.
It was there alright.
It was the koreader\frontend\device\kobo\device.lua
I wanted to use the KSM shutdown script that I had modified to measure the uptime of the device.
It works like a charm.
I've got to keep the Book cover too (I couldn't do this from KSM)

Just thought of writing some instructions to use the uptime.sh script (to measure the overall uptime of a Kobo eReader) with KoReader.
Well, its really very simple.

• Install the uptime.sh if you don't already have it ;o)
• Extract the poweroff.sh from the poweroff.sh.zip to the Koreader folder (.adds\koreader)
• Edit the koreader\frontend\device\kobo\device.lua (use a text editor that respects line breaks like Notepad++) and change the os.execute("poweroff") to os.execute("./poweroff.sh")

Thats it!
Now, whenever the KoReader closes (by the menu entry "Power off" or by a long press of the power button) the uptime.txt will be updated.

If you like to have the KSM's poweroff_info.html displayed instead of the KoReaders's screen saver, just un-comment these lines in the poweroff.sh (remove the # from the start of each line)

#pofile=${pofile:-"$ksmuser/txt/poweroff_info.html"}
#$ksmroot/kbmessage.sh "-f $pofile" &
#usleep 400000
