Hello All, I was planning to write a program which will update a folder in my pen drive whenever I insert one.
The algo goes like this: --> I insert a pendrive --> The program comes to know that a pen drive has been inserted --> Program asks the user "do you want to use this pendrive as a backup tool" --> If I enter "yes" it asks the paths of the folders i want to make backup for --> it updates the pendrive --> Next time whenever I insert the pendrive the program asks "this pendrive has been used for creating backups, do you want to synchronize your folders now" Basically the problem is to find that a pen drive has been inserted in on of the ports ?? rest things can be taken care off by a daemon process sleeping on the event "a pendrive has been inserted". Any clues how to find this out ?? Or any tool which does something similar ? -- Regards, Rishi B. Agrawal http://www.linkedin.com/in/rishibagrawal http://code.google.com/p/fscops/
