Here’s how to use udev to do it:#Create /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usbhook.rules:#ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="sd*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{product}=="Mass Storage", RUN+="/root/bin/usbhook %k"#This will run “/root/bin/usbook”, passing it the device name as an argument, every time a USB Mass Storage device is plugged in.#run udevcontrol reload_rulesudevcontrol reload_rules#Create your usbhook script.#Enjoy
