firewire pseudo-hotplug

[Charles Ulrich]

Hello,

Is there any way to make a shell script execute immediately after a firewire
device is plugged in? The man pages and mailing list archives didn't even get
me close to a hint of whether this is possible or not.

Failing that, is there a (good) way to tell from the command line whether a
particular device (say, a hard disk) happens to be plugged in or not?

Thanks in advance for your time.
