This means there is no process running called hotplug, however the
process you are doing to find hotplug does

This, my fried is where some vi-age is required.
For permament add something like this to /etc/fstab
/dev/scd0 /mnt/usbcd iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

Or, you can type this (as root) whenever you feel like mounting it:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/usbcd

You will have to mkdir /mnt/usbcd -- or you can mount it to whatever
directory of your choosing.

[SLUG] Questions on hotplug.

2003-06-10 Thread Bill Bennett
Many thanks for the reply.

=+-> As root, check to see if the hotplug process is running.

I assume that, at root, I simply type hotplug? I'm not sure
because the manual for hotplug is beyond my comprehension.

It seems to be saying (in the syntax) that I type hotplug and
then pipe it to NAME, where NAME is the agent that's been
connected by hotplug. If I'm right, then it's a circular
argument, because I don't know where (or under what name) hotplug
has connected the burner.

I have one other question. If I want to burn a CD at the end of a
work session, I will have to connect the burner whilst the
computer is still  on, ie., a warm connection. Will hotplug wear
this?

Regards,

Bill Bennett.
