Re: [Thinstation-developer] Re: udev PROGRAM action

[Miles Roper <mroper@xtra.co.nz>]

Hi Kay,

thanks for replying so quick.

Ok that makes sense.  what i've been playing with recently is...

KERNEL="sd*", ACTION="add", NAME="%k", RUN=+"/etc/udev/scripts/usb.sh %k"
KERNEL="sd*", ACTION="remove", NAME="%k", RUN=+"/etc/udev/scripts/usb.sh %k"

what i'm trying to achieve is hotpluging my usbkey.  removing the NAME key above still doesn't seem 
to work, infact it stops it from even calling the script. the line now is

KERNEL="sd*", BUS="usb", RUN=+"/etc/udev/scripts/usb.sh %k"

if I remove the NAME key, how can I specify the device name I want in /dev?  Can I use the %k in 
above, as I need to pass this to the script so I know which device to mount/umount?

thanks

Miles
