is it possible to automatically execute a command when cd is mounted?
 

I was wondering if it's possible to setup my computer to automatically execute a shell command when my computer mounts a CD or DVD? I want to execute a command to share my DVD drive with my other computer using xine. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.p...viewcvs-markup

Yes, there are several approaches:

1. You can have an "autorun" on your media that gets invoked when the media is inserted, e.g.:

... or ...

2. You can configure your desktop (for example, KDE) to invoke a specific program when media is inserted, e.g.:

3. Here's another link that explains a bit further:
