I have been using this syntax and works well.

Good, that's what I used.

So here's how I did my cron-scripts. First line changes volume to mute/max, and second line switches Instant Message -led on/off.

Setting stuff OFF.

Code:

gconftool -t int -s /apps/osso/sound/master_volume -- -100
gconftool -t bool -s /system/osso/dsm/leds/PatternCommunicationChat false

Setting stuff ON.

Code:

gconftool -t int -s /apps/osso/sound/master_volume 100
gconftool -t bool -s /system/osso/dsm/leds/PatternCommunicationChat true

To make the screen turn off in case you have charger connected:

Code:

gconftool -t bool -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_on_with_charger false

Here's the whole crontab. http://mikma.reaktio.net/maemo/crontab.txt

Does anyone know whether gconftool can mute & un-mute the volume, i.e. not set to zero, leave the volume set to whatever level it is, just mute & un-mute? TX
