Re: [gentoo-dev] New PDA Guide

An addition to this would be how to set up a non-usb pilot for the nifty
automated devfsd EXECUTE tricks.  I realize that this would be very
similiar of course :)  Also, a note on the right way to restart devfsd
would be nice.  I tried to kill -HUP it, but no go, and there is no
init.d script.  My devfsd.conf had the following added to try to execute
the jpilot sync for a palm V (already working with jpilot) on /dev/ttyS0

REGISTER       ^tts           PERMISSIONS    0.0   0777
REGISTER       ^tts/0         EXECUTE        /bin/su alan -c "/usr/bin/jpilot -sync"

I'm not sure what I'm missing here, but having some simple things like
that in the docs would help the non-usb palm'ers like me :)
