autorun script on usb stick

[Alexandre34]

I am trying to solve this problem, but I need help:
I want to run a script (a simple cp script to copy the files from a folder of the usb stick to the home directory) every time an usb stick is inserted.
I use raspian jessie and lxde.
I have try to add this rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/100.mymount.rules

Code: Select all

ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", RUN+="/home/pi/testauto.sh"

but it does not work. So I need help on 3 points:
1) How to execute a script when usb drive is insert (we only have the label of the drive, not the IDs)
2) How to disable the dialog that is showned in LXDE when a new drive is mounted ? (see picture)
3) How to change the action to take when LXDE find a new drive ? (see picture)

I don´t think that is really what you want... what if the files are already there? what if its a unique usb and you have an exception? ... there are other points too...

Ok, so what happens instead; look at your logs, in /var/log
Also, does the script run ´manually´ after you plug in the usb and it correctly mounts?
Are you having trouble getting the script to run, or are you having trouble mounting the drive?

Finally, after some hours fighting with rules and log, I give up...

I wrote a basic script testing if the sitck is inserted:

#!/bin/bash
# autocopy.sh
# Written by Alexandre GESP pour ACE ELECTRONIQUE
while true; do
if [ -d "/media/pi/TRANSFERT" ]; then
# Control will enter here if $DIRECTORY exists.
count=$(ls 2>/dev/null -Ub1 -- /media/pi/TRANSFERT/*.ACE | wc -l)
if [ $count -gt 0 ]; then
echo $count fichiers trouves
sudo rm /home/pi/ftp/* 2>/dev/null
sudo mv /media/pi/TRANSFERT/ftp/* /home/pi/ftp 2>/dev/null
fi
fi
sleep 10
done

Not very smart, but it works....
