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 Kay Sievers wrote: > On Wed, Aug 24, 2005 at 07:47:54PM +1200, Miles Roper wrote: > >>Hi, >> >>I've been trolling around the net trying to find an answer to why I can't >>get udev to correctly run a remove event in a script. >> >>here is my udev line >> >>BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd*", NAME="%k", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/usb.sh %k" >> >>this works fine. it calls the script below... > > > ... > > >>the add event works great. however, the remove event never gets actioned. >>In fact the script never gets run when the device is removed. any ideas >>why? > > > PROGRAM is for evaluation of the device name.
