Subject: problem with PROGRAM

Hi,

I'm getting udev to work with a usb ethernet device (also Linux based) and 
Zeroconf.

What I need to do is run the autoipd daemon on network device usb0 when it 
appears, and remove autoipd when network device usb0 disappears.

adding was easy:
ACTION="add", PHYSDEVDRIVER="usbnet", PROGRAM="/usr/bin/autoipd -i %k"

My first attempt was to simply killall processes called autoipd. This works OK, 
but isn't the best method.

ACTION="remove", PHYSDEVDRIVER="usbnet", PROGRAM="/usr/bin/killall autoipd"


The second option was to kill only the autoipd process for usb0

ACTION="remove", PHYSDEVDRIVER="usbnet", PROGRAM="/usr/bin/cat 
/var/run/autoipd-usb0.pid | /usr/bin/xargs /bin/kill"

but this doesn't work and I don't know why. Am I allowed to use a pipe in the 
PROGRAM field?


regards,

Aras Vaichas
