Bug 73951 – Adding th hotplug script to autostart synce-serial-start fo synce ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Flavio Campana 2004-12-09 14:52:26 UTC]

It's possible, using a script created in /etc/hotplug/usb/ and adding a line in /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap, to autostart synce-serial-start; is it possible to add it to the synce ebuild, maybe with an hotplug USE?
But then the user should be warned that synce-serial-start should not be used manually.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. su to gain root privilege
2. Use synce-serial-config to configure the right dev
3. add to /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap the line : synce   0x0003  0xVVVV  0xPPPP  0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00    0x00 where VVVv must be replaced with vendorid and PPPP with productid (lsusb to see them)
4.create /etc/hotplug/usb/synce with this script in it:
#!/bin/bash
 
export time=`date +"%b %d %X"`
export uname=`uname -n`
 
echo "$time $uname $0: iPAQ added" >> /var/log/synce
synce-serial-abort >> /dev/null
synce-serial-start >> /var/log/synce
 
:> $REMOVER
echo "export time=\`date +\"%b %d %X\"\`" >> $REMOVER
echo "export uname=\`uname -n\`" >> $REMOVER
echo "echo \"\$time \$uname $0: iPAQ removed\" >> /var/log/synce" >> $REMOVER
echo "sleep 15 >> /var/log/synce" >> $REMOVER
echo "synce-serial-abort >> /var/log/synce" >> $REMOVER
chmod +x $REMOVER

5. chmod +x /etc/hotplug/usb/synce

Actual Results:  
the device will connect and sync automatically when it is plugged in

Expected Results:  
i tried it myself

No, this should be a udev rule or /etc/dev.d/ script, not a hotplug usermap modification.
