Run program when second hdd gets mounted

[dinjo]

Is there a way I can get a set of programs to execute only when I attach my second hdd to pogoplug

Reason being pogo cannot boot when 2 drives are attached so I boot pogo attach second hdd which has transmission samba and minidlna data so these programs should be started only when second hdd is attached

Make a udev rule.

Can you assist me how do i proceed ahead looked at below but what should be the filename ? And i should be putting the start commands in the rules file right ?

I tried creating rules didn't worked

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')root@alarm /etc/udev/rules.d]$ more 90-media-by-label.rules
KERNEL=="sdb2",ACTION=="add", RUN+="/root/startProcess.bash > /tmp/start"

Is /root/startProcess.bash executable? Does it contain a shebang at the beginning? I don't know if redirections work inside the RUN statement, I suggest to remove it
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
KERNEL=="sdb2", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/root/startProcess.bash"
')
and start with a very simple /root/startProcess.bash
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
#!/bin/bash
date > /tmp/start
')
Not sure if full paths to executables are required in the script, too, but It seems not. Don't forget to
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
chmod +x /root/startProcess.bash
')
Then see if /tmp/start is created.

Yes the shebang is there and file is exec i added the redirection to verify it it does not work is the rules file name ok ?

Filename is okay. Works as described on DockStar. I even installed udev-automount to see if it interferes, but it doesn't. I can make udev write the date to a stick previously mounted by 11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules.
