Perhaps I've ben mistaken, but the files in /etc/udev/rules.d are not the
same as /lib/udev/rules.d, so which one actually rules?
The one in /etc, as David said. Unless it doesn't exist.
This is actually the classical pattern of "layered configuration", which
is widespread in the UNIX world. You see that often with a system config
which can be overridden by a user config.
Sometimes you have even three layers: distro (e.g. lib), local (etc) and
user.
Thanks for the clarification Tomas. That would intimate the search
order would be /home/$usr/someplace, /etc/someplace, /lib/someplace.
Is that correct?
Not only did I give the priority for the task you're tackling
(which BTW would not concern an individual user's directory tree),
I also gave you the reference: man udev.
What is your problem??
man udev is as opaque as you can make what looks like plain English.
Change of subject:
I have a mod I make to the $PATH which I've put in .profile, but I've
failed to find a place to make it autoexec when I login. And I'm tired
of typing ". .profile in every shell tab I open.
Suggestion?
Read INVOCATION in man 1 bash (and check the existence and priorities
of the several startup files). But I feel I'm wasting my breath.
PS New thread for a new subject? Come on …
Cheers,
David.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
