I'm using my 770 to listen to audio books using the slimserver to stream the mp3. I would like to find a way to turn off the audio book after a certain amount of time. You see I often listen to a book while drifting off to sleep and many of the audio books are one looooong file. I don't like the idea of waking up in the morning and finding that my 770 has been playing all night.

Any ideas?

thanks,
Richard.

does anybody know which programs for the n810 are aable to do this?
ich have nearly the same problem. "at" is not implemented in the maemo (linux) terminal.. and sry for pushing such an old thread :>
why isnt such a function in vagalume or any media player=(

is what I use...
I made a command entry for osso-statusbar-cpu:

alright thx sleep 3600 && killall vagalume works perfectly
Hm maybe I will code a programm that kills other programms and the nitself after a selected time

I also use the sleep-killall method. Convenient if you put it as a button on Personal Launcher. Also, have you tried Panucci to play the audio books? It has a great bookmarking system which is useful for single file books, plus volume control from the rocker button and embedded album art.
