You might want to investigate writing udev rules. Here is example rule I wrote
to run a systemd service whenever a USB is plugged in:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/90-libvirt-usb.rules
ACTION=="add", \
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
RUN+="/usr/bin/systemctl --no-block --runtime start
attach-usb@$attr{busnum}:$attr{devnum}:$attr{idVendor}.service"
This is actually one line, as you can see with "\" being used to glue lines
together
B.
