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 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
