run script from udev

[spg666]

I'm trying to run a script when a sd card is inserted into the drive.
my udev rules are as follows:

BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd*", SYSFS{serial}=="058F63356336", NAME="sdcard", RUN+="/bin/mount /dev/sdcard"
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="sd*", SYSFS{serial}=="058F63356336", OPTIONS+="last_rule", RUN+="/home/user/test"

The first line works, naming the device as "sdcard" and mounting it in the correct location. The second line should run a simple script to write a file with some text in it. If I run the script it works so I'm assuming it's not being done by udev but I done know why.

Just for info, my intention is to run an encryption program when the sdcard is inserted.

Probably your script is not using full paths to commands, udev is not running in your user environment.

well I solved it in the end, turns out that I needed to include this line in my script

export Display=:0.0

before running a program with a GUI eg kwrite in the above example
