Create a script file (e.g. start_someplayer.sh) in /home/user directory:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
someplayer &
sleep 20 
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=ru.somebody.someplayer / ru.somebody.someplayer.toggle

then add permissions to execute:

Code:

$ chmod +x /home/user/start_someplayer.sh

then add this command to alarmd (or try to invoke this in terminal):

Code:

/home/user/start_someplayer.sh
