I would like to execute a shell script when a user plugs in a USB
storage device so I can automate the process of adding and removing
MP3s and other files.

The machine this is running on will be used only for adding and
removing MP3 files from USB storage, and will have a web-based GUI, if
that makes a difference. (This will be a publically accessable kiosk)

I was hoping to find some more details on using the hotplug system
and/or udev in the hardware section. Any ideas?
