Hi all,

I am trying to put together something similar to this project:
https://github.com/Mavireck/Kobo-Dashboard

In the code, there is a script that turns off a bunch of Kobo processes:

Code:

# Stop kobo software because it's running
killall nickel hindenburg sickel fickel fmon > /dev/null 2>&1

Could someone elaborate what each of these processes does? From some searches I've come up with the following:

Nickel - default ebook manager and reader
Hindenburg - ?
Sickel - watchdog process? (https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/20...booting-issue/)
Fickel - daemon process that dispatches events from iwlib to a named pipe that the KoboWireless Reader listens on.
Fmon - A daemon for launching programs on the Kobo e-readers.

What I'm really interested in figuring out is how to disable the default home page on the Kobo, and to stop the clock from being updated.

Thanks in advance.
