But starting it automatically after that after some time? I really don't know. Alarms supposedly will wake the device, I don't know if you set an alarm if it would work. No idea honestly.
Due to save energy
For example I have a condition that when my phone has been Idle for 1 hour in night, Flight Mode and Power Saving mode are activated.

Hi guys, I'm not able to run this script: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=825. I put the battery.sh file in /home/user/scripts/battery.sh and then added "sh /home/user/scripts/battery.sh" as custom action but it doesn't work. Did I forget something?

Some Custom Actions require running as root.
You can run scripts as root from ProfileMatic for example like this:
(that restarts internet service, ie the icd2 daemon). rootme is by default the root's password, if you have changed it then modify accordingly.
Another way that is more convenient in some situations, is to create a helper script that can run commands as root:
Create a folder where to put scripts if you don't have one already:
Inside that create a new file named "execroot.sh" with following contents:
Make sure the script is executable:
Example of using to reboot the phone. Put into Custom action:
* Disclaimer: Not tested :P
Thanks to MFaroTusino for the original exec as root method.

Code:
mkdir /home/user/scripts

#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
echo "Usage: $0 command"
exit 1
fi
echo rootme | devel-su -c "$1"
Code:
chmod a+rx /home/user/scripts/execroot.sh
Code:
sh /home/user/scripts/execroot.sh /sbin/reboot

This recipe will try to fix the sudden battery level drop to 4%. It will take around 20 seconds before some of the battery level is restored after the sudden drop.
Create a new script /home/user/scripts/restartbme.sh with following content:
Make sure the script is executable:
In ProfileMatic:
- Create a new rule in ProfileMatic with for example name "Fix battery level"
- Condition: Battery Level, min 0, max 8
- Action: Custom action with the following entry in "Custom action on rule activate":
Or if you use execroot script:
Save the rule.
Thanks to rooster13 for the original bme restarting script, and to thedead1440 for the mostly working timeouts and the notification addition.

I have started to collect some "recipes" to help people with custom actions (but other kind of condition/action combinations are welcome too). I intend to list them to the first post for easy reference. I know there's been quite a few people have done.
So for common good I do want to collect them for easy reference. So if you have some good recipes, please post them here. Just try to make them as easy and straightforward as possible. Perhaps see examples written by me, and if there's a problem in my examples let me know and I'll correct them.

ProfileMatic does not currently have direct support for launching applications as an action. But you can use custom action to do it. Here's an example how to do it:
First find the file that describes the application to launch. As an example, let's suppose we want to launch the "Maps" application.
In terminal, find the file that describes the application "Maps":
From here I see /usr/share/applications/maps.desktop is the correct file.
In ProfileMatic:
Put into Custom Action the following code to start the application:
First find the file that describes the application to launch. As an example, let's suppose we want to launch the "Maps" application.
In terminal, find the file that describes the application "Maps":
Code:
~ $ grep -l Maps /usr/share/applications/* /usr/share/applications/maps.desktop /usr/share/applications/mapsi.desktop
In ProfileMatic:
Put into Custom Action the following code to start the application:
Code:
xdg-open /usr/share/applications/maps.desktop

Then you don't have to constantly update the OP, you/everyone can add new content there, this has worked well for Wazapp & other projects.
Sadly I think the damn thing is still down ATM, maybe you could link to a Google doc from the OP instead...
