[ALMOST-SOLVED] Execute action on USB insert

sistematico · 2012-07-27 09:54:30

Hello everyone!
I have a udev rule like this:

ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/notify-send In'"
ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/notify-send Out'"

[lucas@ironhide ~]:% ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d/99-local.rules                 [0]
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 144 Jul 26 02:31 /etc/udev/rules.d/99-local.rules

But not working!
Anyone can help?

You need to specify the usb subsystem in the rule - there are various examples on the udev wiki page.

Maybe you can use a "framework", udisks-glue-git or similar so you don't need edit systemwide files.

Thank you all!
----------------------- EDIT -----------------------
Solved with udisks-glue (thanks uzsolt) + sysnotify (thanks grawity@freenode), and thank you tomk to point new direction.
