I'm not sure if this is possible, but could I use applescript to automatically launch a certain program (virtualbox) when I plug in my external display?

Is it even possible?

If its not a big deal for someone who actually knows applescript, could they make it for me real quick? I know its kind of a ridiculous request but it'd help me out alot, and I've never used applescript before.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!
 
Not to bump the thread, but does anyone know if you can even use applescript to detect when a monitor has been plugged in? I've tried searching but I'm not even sure of the general terms I could use.
