Subject: Using udev rules to launch an X application
Date: Wed, 09 Aug 2006 00:04:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200608081904.58354.rosh1182@gmail.com> (raw)
I have the following line in 10-custom.rules:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB*",SYMLINK="pilot",
MODE="666", RUN+="su - roshan -c '/usr/bin/jpilot'"
When I connect my palm pilot to my computer and press the hotsync button, udev
correctly creates a symbolic link /dev/pilot. However, the jpilot
application is not launched.
As a test, I previously had changed the Run argument to :
RUN+="su - roshan -c 'ls > /tmp/test'"
This worked as expected. Is there anything special that needs to be done when
the application is an X application rather than a CLI one?
Thanks.
