I guess a user may (one day) listen to dbus org.apache.status.ServerOff rather than while $(pgrep apache). But in my case I want to stick to device-only events for now. (I may also wish to use openrc, init-ng, ...) And as the proper way is to use dbus, not libudev and I don't have|need a "device stack" (fluxbox). {I'm looking for DK-disks what ivman was for hal} (being given it's not the role DK-disks --monitor itself should take (?)) My POV is : time event : cron (user + system) limitation : once a minute file event : incron (user + system) limitation : filesystem permissions process event : upstart device event : udev (system) => dbus => DK-disks no system,particuliar DK daemon in this case, dbus is here but the user still needs the abitility to react to this kind of event. limitation : (I would like a DK-disks ./configure --disable-polkit option) - Should I use instances of : while true; do dbus-monitor --stop-after-first-match --address 'service' 'event' && ... ; done; - Or a dbus-cron is in the cardboard box ? - Or a DK-disks --monitor-and-execute-on-event <FILE> ? >From what I see DK-disks-daemon relies on three sources of information : libudev (g_udev_device) /proc/self/mountinfo (mount_monitor) (stated once then GIOchannel) /proc/mdstat (mdstat_channel) (idem) and DK-disks --monitor then relies upon dbus (main loop) to provide the unified event mechanism I wish to use so ... what's the flexible way to bind against on_uevent() of DK-disks-daemon ?
