[Help] setting up hotplug for USB UPSs

[Arnaud Quette]

Hi there,

I'm currently trying to setup hotplug for USB UPSs
and have not yet succeeded :(

I'm running a Debian Sid (unstable) with:
- hotplug 2002_08_26
- hotplug-utils 2002_01_14

I'm first trying understand exactly how I
can handle userland software startup within
hotplug script. But with my below config,
nut script is never called :( Please, tell me
what's wrong...

The thing I'm not sure about is where to put
my files. usb.agent demands
/etc/hotplug/usb/ but seems to be searching
in /etc/hotplug/ ! I've tried both but fail.

Anybody has a small procedure (apart from
jphoto which was my example) or some
advice/help to give ?

Thanks,
Arnaud

1) /etc/hotplug/usb/usb.usermap:
nut 0x0080 0x0463 0x0001 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
nut 0x0080 0x0463 0xffff 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

2) /etc/hotplug/usb/nut:
#!/bin/sh
echo "dev = $DEVICE, prod = $PRODUCT, action = $ACTION"  > /dev/pts/1

3) relaunched hotplug (/etc/init.d/hotplug restart)

4) unplug/replug device and tail on /var/log/syslog
 >Jan 18 15:17:17 daneel kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:01.3-1.4, 
assigned address 4
 >Jan 18 15:17:22 daneel kernel: hiddev0: USB HID v1.00 Device [MGE UPS 
SYSTEMS Evolution] on usb1:4.0
 >Jan 18 15:17:25 daneel /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: Setup hid for USB 
product 463/1/1

But never calls nut !
