Relevant bash http://bash.org/?5273 http://bash.org/?5273 Couldn't be have just pinged it instead of waiting for update?

  No, because the Kindle only connects to wifi around 6AM in order to download updates, so it wouldn't be available on the network until then.

    So set up an `at` job to ping it at 6am? Or just ping it constantly and filter the response.

      If it only comes online to do updates then might as well wait for it to update I guess.
