A different way might be to look at usbdevfs. For usbview, I stat
/proc/bus/usb/devices and if that changes, then I know a device was
added or removed. Then you can go and scan the tree to see what
happened.
devfs can also notify your program when a device is seen or removed.
As for your original question, I don't think there is a way to add a
user helper, but not quite sure. Need to look at the scripts some
more...
Hope this helps,
