Thanks again,

I think you are onto something here.

So far I've worked out how to ssh into the n900 and am getting a bit more familiar as to how it is laid out.
and to root it!
then installed the dbusscript.
Tried and initial script which so far hasn't worked but it is a start.

I've hit a couple noobie stumbling blocks.

How to get the mplayer app to kick start - in windows I know to look for an .exe - what do I look for in debian linux?

my logic is it that it should be in /etc/mplayer? but i see no files in there. Can there be hidden files similar to windows by going into folder options and enabling the checkbox?

Also I rebooted my phone and now etc/dbusscript.d directory is missing when ssh'd into the n900? It was there where I save the first script but where would it have gone? Would I need to reinstall the app?

Cheers
