22 | Ok, my mistake, sent off the email a bit too soon :) But I do now have
23 | some more sensical comments :) It should be /usr/bin/jpilot-sync, not
24 | /usr/bin/jpilot -sync
25 |
26 | I'm also wondering if it is possible to have this sort of trickery for
27 | serial devices, as as soon as I run devfsd /dev (after killing it) it
28 | immediately starts the jpilot-sync program. I'm wondering if it is a
29 | USB feature that allows this to be controlled?

34 Isn't a serial port always registered, though? The USB trick only works
35 because /dev/usb/tts/1 only appears when you hit the hotsync button on
36 your palm.
