Have a look for an application to detect WiFi networks in range, and executes a script when the railway station hotspot gets in range

until then, how about just looking at the schedule and setting a timer to go off right before you're scheduled to arrive?

I've paired this with my iPhone at work and now i can leave my Mac without ever having to set the screensaver or turn the music off.

I can think of many new uses for this.

<snip>

do shell script "defaults -currentHost write com.apple.screensaver askForPassword -int 0"

— turn off the screen saver
tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" to quit

set output to do shell script "defaults -currentHost read com.apple.screensaver askForPassword -int"

It's on my todo list to try and look into that issue. I haven't had time to figure it out yet. If you beat me to it, please let me know!

The login windows just appears black and the login prompt doesn't appear until after a restart.

Reminds me a lot of the home automation kits I used to buy a few years back. I'm going to try it out.
