I posted the following on my webpage at http://www.grahli.net/linux.php, some people might find this interesting:

Here a little trick for amarok to get you out of bed in a nicer way: (I'm probably not the only one who's machine is on all night..)
I was getting tired of my alarm clock and so I made a cron job for my user account calling a script in the morning:
#crontab -e
00 09 * * * /home/USER/scripts/wakeup
Next comes the script itself, here I give amarok the dcop play command so it will start with the last selected song (don't forget to select this song in the evening or it won't work properly):
#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0.0
/usr/kde/3.3/bin/dcop amarok player play
Display is necessary for dcop to attach...at least on my system.
Have fun!

Thank you for that, but it sure would be really nice if someone would write a plugin *wink* hint hint anyone?

Script for Mandrake or Other distros w/ Dcop in /usr/bin
user "whereis dcop" in konsole to find your location.
<------------------- Scrpit Begin Copy
#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0.0
/usr/bin/dcop amarok player play
>-------------------- Script End Copy

On my system (running compiz and dual-head) I get the error:
ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server!
This is caused by my screen being somewhere other than 0.0
I ran glxinfo and the first line reads:
name of display: :1.0
I changed 0.0 to 1.0 in the script and it works for me now.
