Putting IfThenElse to work

Tags IfThenElse 

I blogged previous about IfThenElse..  It is a very simple tool, but combined with random other programs can become a fun and powerful tool:

The following script locks my screen, puts jabber status on away when I turn off the lights in the room.  Unlocks the screen when turning the lights back on.. Also when I start vlc/totem/mplayer it will set my jabber status to away “watching a movie”.

 

This is all described in the following xml file:
