Cuttlefish is a simple tool, which realises reflexes on your computer by executing actions when specific events are triggered. It allows you to create events that only happen under certain circumstances. You can configure the tool in such way that cuttlefish can for example change your default printer according to the currently connected wireless network. You can also lock/unlock your computer, when a specific USB device is dis/reconnected.
For example, I like to keep my audio muted as I don’t like system sound to be played out to me. However, I have Cuttlefish setup to automatically un-mute my sound when I open Rhythmbox or Totem Movie Player. Then when I exit either application, the sound is muted again
Install Cuttlefish
Cuttlefish can be installed directly from Ubuntu Software Center, so no PPAs needed. This works also on Ubuntu 14.04 as I have tested it
or
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cuttlefish
