Unable to find /sbin/hotplug in my running kernel

Unable to find /sbin/hotplug in my running kernel

[Rahul Garg]

Hi

I am unable to find /sbin/hotplug in my running kernel. I checked my
config file, CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y is enabled.

Also one more doubt which I have is, with out this file how hotplug
event is working.
My running kernel version is 3.14.0-rc6.

Any leads will be appreciated.

Regards
Rahul

It's not a kernel program, it's a userspace program, that should not be
used anymore, as udev listens on a netlink socket instead these days.
