Removing device from USB hub triggers udev event for removing hub

view story
linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I have a udev rule to halt the system when a usb hub is removed: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="remove", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}="050d", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}="0237", RUN+="/sbin/halt" Unfortunately, this also triggers when a device plugged into that hub is removed. Does anyone know how I can target just the hub and not include remove events for devices attached to it? (HowTos)

Udev rule is not being used? 49 weeks 6 days ago

I'm setting up udev to handle my external USB hard drive when it gets plugged in and removed (no mounting yet).

I'm running Arch Linux, and I have a udev rule which starts a service when a device is inserted.

Hi, While my udev rule works and triggers a bash script on USB insertion, media is not being mounted until  +=RUN script ends. Rule file is the last one executed (z99.fooo.rules). Script is supposed to search for a specific file, if file found then runs a backup and beeps, then user can unplug usb device....

I have a device that is an contec cms-50f oximeter that connects to the computer using a usb cable.

When I do an lsusb command I can see it in the output

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 10c4:ea60 Cygnal Integrated Products, Inc.

udev is responsible for populating /dev. It adds and removes device nodes to /dev dynamically based on rules/configs/scripts under /lib/udev and /etc/udev/.

If I have a CDROM device node /dev/sr0 I can add a symlink /dev/cdrom by adding a rule like:

SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sr0", SYMLINK+="cdrom", GROUP="cdrom"

I understand how symlinks are created in udev.

I am trying to execute a shell script from udev rule, when a network interface is added, as follows:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="eth*", PROGRAM="/usr/local/bin/changemac.sh", NAME="eth0"

The shell script is just changing the MAC address of eth1 using ifconfig command, as follows:

#!/bin/sh /sbin/ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:cc:dd:ee:ff:e1 echo "command return status $?" > /root/c

Udev-Discover is a sysfs browsing tool focused on helping udev users and developers.

I get this message (Could not find '' executable.) in terminal after using sudo apt-get since I installed and removed Krusader. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 with Unity.

$ sudo apt-get remove gstm Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

I talkt with falconindy, because i got the same problem so there is the fix (workaround). I know falconindy don't like override permission by udev, but maybe OpenVZ Container need this. If i had time, maybe i will look deeper in it.Problem was upgrade from udev v182-4 to systemd-tools v184-2, because of removing the following line.
