after installing the QEMU accelerator "kqemu" packages yesterday (which added a new udev rules file "60-kqemu.rules"), i wanted to kick udev to reconsult its files in order to create the new dev file /dev/kqemu. it seemed sufficient to do: # modprobe kqemu # udevcontrol reload_rules but i did notice that "man udevcontrol" actually describes "udevadm". is this a newer standard for udev management? is "udevcontrol" still there only for backward compatibility and should i be using a newer, udevadm-based command for that that has the same effect? just curious. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
