How to trigger a book update on the Kobo...

Hi,


From a hacking perspective;

I've got scripts on my kobo which are automatically downloading/generating/translating ebooks while the Kobo is NOT plugged into USB , and putting them in the normal place on /mnt/onboard as if I had copied them from my linux PC over to the reader; However, not even rebooting will cause the Kobo reader to "discover" these new books and allow me to read them. I have to plug in the USB cord, mount the reader on my PC, and unmount it -- before the reader suddenly detects them.

That stinks, as it means I have to do the hokey pokey, disable telnet -- unload modules -- etc. etc. etc. before I can make all that happen.

How can I fool the reader into thinking I have plugged the USB cord in, mounted the reader, and unmounted it -- using a shell script / without physically doing any of it?

Is there a simple way?
