Is there any application for N900 to stop the default music player automatically after the time you want? (e.g. when you use your phone as a “radio” before you’ll get to sleep etc.)

I found one for N97, but wasn't able to find one for N900

I'd be rather interested in this aswell.

I guess one could write a script that slept for an amount of time input by the user, then finds the media player process and kills it.

Not the most user friendly thing though.

I think the Process ID number changes according to when the program is launched. You should use the process name instead and issue a killall command.

Ok ... here's my first pass :

echo "Time to shutdown in mins : "
read shutdowntime

sleep $((shutdowntime * 60));

kill $(pidof mediaplayer)

echo "Goodnight";
It works from the command line, just input the time you want the Mediaplayer to run for in minutes.

It's probably overly simplistic ... but it's just nice to play with these things.

Now... wheres my widget hammer

What are your typical "sleep timer" durations?
15-30-45-60 minutes?
