Custom actions following gnome automount

erick.brown · 03-04-2010, 12:44 PM

I am attempting to setup a mechanism by which I can automatically run a script to pull a particular file off of a USB thumb drive whenever it is inserted. Most of the time it will be the same USB thumb drive in, but not always.

Here's the particulars of my environment:
Distro: Fedora Core 11 with kernel 2.6.30.9-96 (x86/64)
Desktop: Gnome 2.26.3 (build 7/7/2009)
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 5000+
Memory: 2GB

Thanks in advance for any tips, advice, or directions in inquiry.

Look up udev rules.

Read the instructions thoroughly.
