Then udevd uses inotify to wait for a rules-file to change, and reloads it. Or at least, that's what it used to do, and I doubt that something as useful as that would have gotten removed. (That's why having symlinks in the rules.d directory isn't good: udevd can't watch the targets of the links, just the links themselves.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGwDvZS5vET1Wea5wRA78CAJ9612UwlfPZZvTVbYXUiNtyLe/rUQCfY4Fk MzhLliKXbdzUEJBkv1rKYic=oWnl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
