You are correct. The '~~' is hotplug-specific syntax. <http://code.google.com/p/hotplug2/source/browse/trunk/docs/rules.txt#24> "Operators "==" and "!=" check for string equality and inequality, respectively. Operators "~~" and "!~" perform regex match. The "is set" and "is unset" conditions check whether the variable has any value at all." galen -- Galen Seitz [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
