i do read the man page. i still believe this is a bug. the script IS
executed, but not the hole part. (i easily verified that with playing
sounds in different parts of the script). i tried putting it in
/etc/dev.d/default - still the same behaviour. it works comletely if i
execute it manually. besides - i removed the ACTION commands - so it's
not that either.

any suggestions?

thanks for any help

It may be an error in your script which is causing the misbehaviour.
Perhaps you could post it here to clarify this.

Cheers, Tobias

I found the bug: sudo. i used 'sudo -u username mkdir foo' within my
script to make a directory (which should be owned by the user). this
works if i execute the script by hand but it doesn't work if it gets
invoked by udev automatically. well, strange behaviour and difficult to
find. 
lession learned: use chown/chmod over sudo.

thanks for the help anyway.
