Actually, the path to the scripts dir (/lib/udev in your case) is provided by udev.pc pkg-config file. So if you consider installing any script(s) to /lib/udev, you'd better avoid hardcoding that directory and use pkgconfig:
$ pkg-config --variable udevdir udev /lib/udev Unfortunately, there is no path to udevadm provided as a variable in udev.pc which, I suppose, could be filed as an enhancement request to udev bugtracker. cheers, Andrey On 20 Dec 2010, at 4:33PM, Karl Relton wrote: > On my Ubuntu system, all the scripts in /lib/udev that need to run > things from /sbin either use full path at each invocation, or at the top > prepend /sbin to $PATH. > > So to be consistent with them we could make /lib/udev/synce-udev-serial > do the prepend /sbin to $PATH, and > then /usr/share/synce-connector/udev-synce-serial could just call > udevadm. > > Karl > > > On Fri, 2010-12-17 at 17:00 +0100, David Eriksson wrote: >> Thanks!
