Determine When A Cf Card Is Mounted?

[BarrySamuels]

Is there a way to determine when a CompactFlash card is mounted? If I can do that I then want to run a script automatically.

Any help appreciated.

I'm not sure what you want to do with the script, but if you simply want to find out whether a CF is mounted, you can do "df -h" and look for /dev/hda1 which will be mounted at /mnt/cf or /usr/mnt.rom/cf. SD is /dev/mmcda1 at /mnt/card.

I want to avoid the need to keep checking. I was hoping to be able to run a script automatically whenever a CF card is mounted.

I want the script simply to run VisualQ if the card is a camera card. I can easily determine that because it will have a /dcim/100olymp directory on it.

Take a look at Mickeyl's pcmcia-applet for Opie, it allows you to perform actions depending on which card you have inserted.

Thanks - but where do I find it? A google search finds only one occurence as part of a 'wish list'.
Will it run on a Sharp Rom?

Look at /etc/pcmcia/ide file.
This file starts every time your CF card inserts, ejects etc.
