Keyboard desactivation

Keyboard desactivation

[MONDON Daniel]

I always want to de-activate or activate keyboard when I want not to or
to use it.


Is it possible to simulate a keyboard unplugging with a script or a
rule... with cold plug?

Or with hot plug, modify the rule (or execute a script) that do the
same?

Thanks
Daniel.

Yes, you can disconnect the device from the driver in sysfs, but that
really doesn't pertain to udev.

Why?

Because the machines are used with touch screen, and the users don't have to go to modify any configuration.
But as administrator, I need to modify, adapt ... configure machines.

Yes, you can disconnect the device from the driver in sysfs, but that

Can it be disconnect or connect with simple command or script ?
