linux - Bash script to detect when my USB is plugged in and to then sync it with a Directory -

is there bash script and/or daemon can write detect specific usb drive , sync drive directory?

for future reference, here's how run bash script upon detection of usb drive.

connect device , run lsusb retrieve device's info. should see similar this:

$ lsusb bus 002 device 039: id 0bc2:2100 seagate rss llc

in case, vendor id of device 0bc2 , product id 2100.

now can create udev rule using text editor of choice.

$sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/85-my_usb_device_rule.rules

and add this:

action=="add", subsystem=="usb", sysfs{idvendor}=="0bc2", sysfs{idproduct}=="2100", run+="/home/myhome/my_script"

/home/myhome/my_script path script whatever want.

to make sure detection script execute right away, run command reload udev rules:

$sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

this tested on fedora 14.
