This is for running programs from the computer against the device, not |
| 9 |
autorunning programs on the device - such as initialising USB modems. |

I also have a rule on a headless media server to run a script that |
| 24 |
mounts a USB stick, copies files to it, unmounts it and lets me know when |
| 25 |
it is done. I can mark files for copying at any time and my wife can just |
| 26 |
plug in a stick when she wants to copy them for viewing on a small, |
| 27 |
non-connected TV by her treadmill (her treadmill, I emphasise - I find a |
| 28 |
keyboard and trackball give me all the exercise I want). |
