Yes, an enhanced hotplug agent behavior. I cannot be certain if this will
be a common enough task that the scripts should accomodate it
directly. I am certain that I would use the feature. Basically I do not
want my application to poll for added/removed devices. I wanted to
be told that a device was plugged in.
Also, I did not want to add my personal scripts to the agent so that it
would be easy to install new releases of hotplug. I am looking for
something generic.
