Hello
I have a script I wrote that is meant to scan a usb stick for viruses
and takes the stick's mount point as an argument.
I'd like the script to clean any new usb devices that get plugged into
the system. I've been experimenting with the rules but can't find a
good way to get the mount point. Does anyone have any ideas or perhaps
an alternate method?

You need to watch /proc/mounts for changes, udev does not deal with
this. Hopefully some day upstart it will...
