I cannot be certain if this will be a common enough task that the scripts should accomodate it directly. I am certain that I would use the feature. Basically I do not want my application to poll for added/removed devices. I wanted to be told that a device was plugged in. Also, I did not want to add my personal scripts to the agent so that it would be easy to install new releases of hotplug. I am looking for something generic. -Michael On Tue, 27 Mar 2001, David Brownell wrote: > > I have a script that I want to call everytime that hotplug gets > > activated.
