udev is not installed by default, but I see it is available. I have not got much flash (ie disc) space though so I will have to find how big it is. The TPLink-703N starts with 2MB (yes MB) of flash and I have got just 252k left. Another possibility I think is hotplug, which is installed as standard. Using that I can run a script when the linkusb comes up or down and use that to restart owserver on the new port. Thanks all for the suggestions.
