Through /etc/hotplug/scsi.agent I could verify all hotplug add and remove events with DEVPATH. I would like to pass these event info to OPEN-IPMI interface, which means I will write a small C program to do this. Can I execute this program from scsi.agent? I am concerned about performance hit due to "n" instances of this executable. Since drives can be added/removed several times, it could add up many events. Is this /sbin/hotplug utility meant for such operation? Any suggestions to avoid performance degradation? How can udev help here? Where can I find additional information? -Krishna ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
