The first command makes the file executable and you only need to do it once.

The ampersand [&] will cause it to run in the background. You can use "ps ax | grep headphoned" to check if it's running and you can use "killall headphoned-armel-diablo" to kill it.

Here's a nice beginner tutorial for getting used to the command line: http://www.linuxcommand.org/

HTH.
Hey and thanks again.
I wasn't sure if the code you included was supposed to be run as two entries or as one long sentence.
I tried both but did not seem to do anything.
When executing the first row I don't get any confirmation or error message.
When executing the second row I got 'no permission'.
I tried checking for active processes using an app i got running in tne status barr but it didnt show there - and i also tried pulling out the cord whilst playing a podcast through gpodder/panucci but the player did not pause.

Sorry for being new to all of this and making helping out a lenghty process.

(Also..how do I get a 'pipe' as in your example for how to check what processes are active using my N810 keyboard?)
