I'd like to get rid of this requirement by having this python code execute when people click the refresh notebook list icon on the dashboard.

I think I can probably go away and figure out how to do that but I wanted to check whether this was the right idea, or whether there was a simpler way?

In IPython 2.0  you can access the list of notebook and kernels using the rest API under /api/*
https://localhost:8888/api/notebooks
https://localhost:8888/api/kernels 
…
So you can start notebook-less kernel to do whatever you like, and stop it afterward. 
You can also get notebook content through this way. 

So I would suggest building an alternative dashboard the use this API
