I dont re-boot my system enough, but I do have a iBook that I carry, and I sometimes have to boot. But as long as it's running, I have no problem. I also noticed, that apon excuting the script file in terminal, it does freeze which may give the appearence that nothing is happining, but don't be fooled, the script has been executed!! And do not run it again, because that will cause actions to be repeated. Once the script is opened the terminal, the only way I can get ever thing working is to run this sudo chmod 777 /private/tmp/iTunesRemoteControl in terminal. That will do the trick. I have also added some commands(change album), which anyone can do, copy and paste the info in any if the xxx.pl file's.
#!/usr/bin/perl
system "echo 'XXXXX' > /tmp/iTunesRemoteControl";
system "chmod uga+rw /tmp/iTunesRemoteControl";
print "Content-type: text/vnd.wap.wml\n\n";
open MENU, "./menu" or die "'menu' not in current dir";
while (<MENU>) {print "$_";}
close MENU;
Define a varible where XXXXX is, and add it to the daemon
#!/bin/bash

As you can see I added some, pointing to the corresponding script.
I added one to open, change album, and even get Lyrics. The same concept can be used in all applications and you can just add to the existing daemon(I'm Guessing).
So in closing I've learned alot in two days, I think my "wapTunes" is ready to be shown off to my friends, at school.
