As you already know, Desktop Command Execution widget is one of the most useful widgets on your Maemo desktop. It can be used to show certain information (for example battery level in percentage) or as a button which can be used for example to disconnect active internet connection (you need to tap 3 times and also wait for menus to appear without this widget). Therefore it can replace many other applications/widgets/applets and you can also make something new.

Also, with the help of Alarmed or Fcron you can set a command to be executed at specific intervals (every minute, hourly, on specific weekdays, on last day of month etc...)

Here you'll find a collection of scripts that work in these applets :
