Description: dbuscron is cron-like DBUS events scheduler
 It's main target is Maemo 5. I wrote it for my N900 actually,
 so I can schedule tasks for different DBUS events. This package
 is prepared for Maemo 5 only, but the application itself can
 be used on any Linux system.
 .
 It's configuration file is /etc/dbuscrontab.
 Use `dbuscrontab -e' command to edit it (run dbuscrontab without
 parameters to see help on command arguments).
 .
 The format of dbuscrontab is really simple and very similar to
 crontab's one: it is a white-space separated table file, each
 not empty and not comment (the one with `#' at first column) line
 consists of 9 space separated fields: bus (`S' for system and `s'
 for session), event type (signal, method_call, method_return or error),
 event sender name, interface, object path, member, destination,
 event arguments (actually a semicolon-separated list of arguments
 to match) and shell command to run.
 .
 Every field can contain `*' to match any value, or multiple possible
 values separated with comma.
 .
 When run, daemon listens for these events and runs shell command
 for caught event. That's it!
