hotplug script for usb-pen

aspartat · 02-20-2005, 05:57 AM

Hi,
I want to create a little bash-script, that creats a file if insertet & delets it if its removed.
So the creation of the file works, but not the removal.

Code:

#! /bin/sh

if [ "$ACTION" = "add" ]; then
touch /home/simon/Desktop/file
echo -e "#!/bin/bash \nrm -r /home/simon/Desktop/file" $REMOVER
chmod +x $REMOVER
fi

So why this does not work.
Also I am interested in why the following does not work?

Code:

.....
if [ "$ACTION" = "remove" ]; then
rm /home/simon/Desktop/file
fi

any hints

thanks in advance aspartat
