register to get notified with hotplug?

[Quynh Nguyen Anh]

hello,

i want to write a program that get notified when a usb device (exactly a 
usb memory key) is plugged into the usb port of the machine. i guess 
hotplug fits this job well.

but i dont know how to register my program to hotplug, so it can be 
notified. may you please show me the way? (it is best to have some 
examples or source codes)

thank you and regards,
Nguyen

Just put two files into /etc/hotplug/usb/*.
Hotplug will read the *.usermap and if it matches
the USB device it calls given script.
Here is a simple example i use for my DigiCam.
