Can I and should I use Upstart to call script when USB drive is inserted?
Hi,
I might be confused about what I should use Upstart for.
I want to run a script when a specific USB HDD-drive is inserted.
1. Can I run a script just when this specific USB HDD-drive is inserted?
2. Can I run a script when any HDD-drive is inserted? Can this script get the GUID of the USB-drive as an argument?
I've asked on Stack Overflow: http://
And I got one answer (only) recommending me to use udev or dbus as Upstart wouldn't be able to send this signal (for a USB-drive which has been inserted).
Best regards, Kent

You're almost certainly better off doing this as a udev rule.
