---not a guru or anything, but it sounds like something I've had problems with and this may help you-- If you can get your script to work, you can put it pretty much anywhere (I suggest /usr/local/bin ) then chmod +s it and edit your rc.local file to call the script. (sh /usr/local/bin/yourscript.sh if it is a bash script) Thats what I had to do to get some of my lmsensors to work. (They still give me wrong readings, but hey, the rpms and temps work.) Dont know if this will help you, and its kind of an old thread, been a while since I've checked my mail. -Matt On Wed, 04 Aug 2004 01:49:51 +0200, Dalibor Malek <maillist@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Andy Green wrote: > > >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > >Hash: SHA1 > > > >On Monday 02 August 2004 18:45, Dalibor Malek wrote: > > > >Hi - > > > > > > > >>we talked a while ago about your usbautocam Script (which is absolutely > >>great). > >>I have one question to this script. > >>Is it really only possible to run that script as root? > >>I made a user with standard rights and run the script but when I try to > >>add a stick I get a failure message. > >>And then if I plug the stick in or out nothing happens. > >>When I do this as root its working fine. > >>Is it possible to run the script as normal user or if not is it possible > >>to auto login as root? > >> > >> > > > >The usbautocam script sets up automount and hotplug and so on in /etc, starts > >and stops the automount script and suchlike.
