Overview
In this assignment, you will be writing a udev rule to react to a flash drive being plugged into your system, and broadcast a message in response. Due to your servers being hosted on GCP (can’t plug a flash drive into it), I’ve provided a script to emulate a flash drive being plugged in (see usage below).
Submission
Submit via the provided git repo by 11:59pm Monday, April 1st. Place your udev rule in a .rules file as specified in the lecture slides.
Tips
`wall "Message"` Will broadcast "Message" to all logged in users, use that in conjunction with your udev rule.
Provided Scripts
flashdrive.sh
Uses loop devices and `losetup` to emulate a device being added.
Usage
`./flashdrive.sh plugin` "Plugs in" flash drive to your system, outputs the device file.
`./flashdrive.sh unplug` "Unplugs" flash drive, outputs the device file.
update-udev.sh
Script for convenience, copies *.rules to proper path for udev rules and reloads.
