OK Guys, I now have a script running that will automatically slurp my
camera once it is connected: 

tail -0f /var/log/messages | \
  awk '/Manufacturer: Sony DSC/ {system ("/home/wolff/bin/handle_sony")}' &

and: 

-----------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
mnt=/mnt/sony
dst=/home/wolff/dsc/newimages/

(beep) > /dev/console &

mount /dev/sda1 $mnt
for i in $mnt/*/*/
  do
  rsync -avv --progress $i $dst
done

umount $mnt

(beep; sleep 1 ; beep) > /dev/console &
-----------------------------------------------

The thing I don't like about this is that the "sda1" has to be
guessed. Besides "usb-storage" I have 2 more SCSI interfaces in this
machine, and the day that I'll add a permanent scsi disk (or something
that looks like one) on one of them will come eventually.

So my feature request is: can the usb-storage driver spew out which
sdX it got: that way I can make my script a bit more robust. 

I just realized, there is probably a "usbmgr" program that can replace
my "tail -f / awk" trick. I just searched the web a bit but couldn't
find anything easy / that can launch my other script. If it's trivial,
please enlighten me... ;-)

                        Roger.
