I was looking for a way to control itunes from the N900 and stumbled on a way to use the full powershell from the N900..

Steps:

1. Install openssh on the N900
2. Install Powershell Sever 4.0 (its free) from http://www.powershellinside.com/down...X4-A&type=free
3. Install and start the server on your PC
4. Connect to your PC by using these commands:

Code:

sudo gainroot
ssh <username>@ip

5. After entering password you should be seeing the PS interface

Sample commands I have run so far is:

Code:

$itunes = new-object -com itunes.application
$itunes.pause()
$itunes.play()
$itunes.nettrack()

I will keep exploring
