on n900, you could install a dbus script in /etc/dbus-scripts.d and this script would filter dbus events so that only the ones you want will trigger it. the trigger event can then call a separate shell script.
how can i do the same in sailfish?

I found the following: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5344390/how-to-continuously-monitor-rhythmbox-for-track-change-using-bash/5345462#5345462 or http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/80143/how-to-create-a-daemon-which-would-be-listening-to-dbus-and-fire-script-on-messa
The following works on my Jolla:
dbus-monitor | while read LINE; do echo $LINE; done
This can be used for a simple script.
interesting. but my script would see every dbus event...not as efficient but you are right, it would work too. thx!

I'm not very familiar with systemd yet (started to learn since I got my Jolla). But I think this is something you can do with a systemd unit.
i luke this idea and initial reading seems to indicate it is possible to do this. will explore more. thanks.
