I have 2 digital cameras. One is an olympus, and the other is a pentax.
I would like to add scripts to /etc/hotplug that do the following:

when a camera is plugged in

mount /mnt/camera

mv /mnt/camera/dcim/*/* /home/$camera/$date

umount /mnt/camera

I can't seem to get a grasp on how hotplug works. The above should be
simple - ID the device that's plugged in, based on that, run a script.

But I can't figure out how hotplug picks what script to run....

Any docs out there? Any hints, howtos?

Thanks,
