Dear All, I am struggling to understand how to run a script automatically upon plugging a USB keyboard. I know this issue is not directly related to Devuan, but I will certainly appreciate a little help.
I created the following rule as /etc/udev/rules.d/90-usb-keyboard.rules: ATTRS{idVendor}=="XXXX", ATTRS{idProduct}=="XXXX", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/full/path_to/restore_space_as_modifier.sh" and reloaded eudev (I am on ASCII). The script essentially has to do this: #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode 65=Super_L" /usr/bin/xmodmap -e "keycode any=space" /usr/bin/pkill xcape /usr/bin/xcape -e "Super_L=space" I have tried many things including: wrapping the script inside another calling it with '&' at the end piping it to '... | at now' wrapping the code in the same way: '(...) &' calling the execution of the script with full paths to bash and script calling it with sudo -u user add 'OPTION="last_rule"' to the rule itself... it is not working, nothing happens, not even a simple echo something to a file, the only command I have got working is touching a file with 'RUN+="/usr/bin/touch path_to/filename" Most of the resources I have found on the web mention something called systemd as a possible solution......:) If you know how to solve this issue please help. Thanks in advance. Antonio
