I have just submitted the existing hotplug kernel/user interface to the LSB for proposal as a potential standard that user programs can interact with. However this looks like a whole lot better interface for all potential user programs to be able to accept kernel messages such as this. I'll join the mailing list and see how D-BUS works out, at first glance, it looks good. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ValueWeb: Dedicated Hosting for just $79/mo with 500 GB of bandwidth!
