 Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2005 8:54 pm Post subject: UDEV rules |
 |
|
I've been tinkering with udev rules, my own local file is /etc/rules.d/10-local.rules. I'm trying to get a script to execute when I plug my sandisk usb thumb drive. The rule I currently have is
| Code: | | BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="SNDK99FDE4002DE06405", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="sandisk%n" |
My understanding is that I can supply a further argument i.e. PROGRAM="/etc/init.d/rules.d/scripts/sandisk.sh" so that the shell script gets executed when I put the thumb drive in. I'm clearly missing something here as placing this argument in the rule file does not work. Any ideas?
My aim is to create scripts for each of my usb storage devices so that appropriate icons appear on my KDE desktop. |

| I am not sure about udev executing a script, But you can do the same thing easly with hotplug. You just need to write *.usermap and a agent. usermap matches the device you plugged in and the agent does whatever you need to to with the device. For examples look at /etc/hotplug/usb/. |
