reboot mouse from the command line?


I have an occasional problem where my USB mouse dosn't work, its allways solvable by unplugging it then pluging it in aganin. I was wandering if there is some way to mimic removing then replugging the mouse from the command line?

Assuming usb-uhci is the controlling module, you could (as root)
rmmod usb-uhci
modprobe usb-uhci
