In Linux, exactly as in Windows, a hotplug event can trigger
synchronization. But it is not set up this way (because it is unclear
which user wants the event, for example).

You can write a 3-line shell script which will be looking at the
/var/log/messages, for example, to begin with.

a) Load visor driver
b) $ pilot-xfer -p /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 -l # (or like that)

Note: you should use the SECOND of two devices that materialize after
you press the sync button on the cradle. Press sync BEFORE you run the
command (b).

Don't even bother trying GUIs until this one works well.
