udev problems [REOPENED]

[Steve Scrimpshire]

I added two rules to my /etc/udev/rules.d/70-hotplug_map.rules file:

 

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0781", SYSFS{idProduct}=="7411", RUN+="/home/ohms/bin/thumb"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="remove", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0781", SYSFS{idProduct}=="7411", RUN+="/home/ohms/bin/remove"

 

The problem is it runs the ACTION=="add" but not the ACTION=="remove" script.

 

How exactly can I run a script when I attach my mp3 player and a different script when I remove it?

 

 

 

Solution: Instead of using /etc/udev/rules.d/70-hotplug_map.rules, use /etc/udev/rules.d/60-dynamic.rules

and instead of

SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0781", SYSFS{idProduct}=="7411", RUN+="/home/ohms/bin/thumb"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", ACTION=="remove", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0781", SYSFS{idProduct}=="7411", RUN+="/home/ohms/bin/remove"

I had to use:

KERNEL=="sda[0-9]*", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/home/ohms/bin/thumb"
KERNEL=="sda[0-9]*", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/home/ohms/bin/remove"

 

I wish I could do it with SYSFS{blech} though, so it would be specific to my mp3 player and not just any thumb drive.
