gpsd.hotplug

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script is the gpsd udev handler for add/remove events on matched USB
# devices. It expects to see the following environment variables:
#
#    ACTION  = either "add" or "remove"
#    DEVNAME = the full name of the USB device that was just activated
#
# It will accept from /etc/sysconfig/gpsd the following config variables:
#
#    CONTROL_SOCKET = location of the gpsd control socket
#    OPTIONS = options to be passed to gpsd on launch
#
# It hands off to gpsdctl for the actual communication with the daemon.
#
# Do not introduce bashims into this script, as we want it to continue to
# work under Ubuntu.

# In recent versions of udev, the gpsd script runs in series with
# the task that creates the real /dev/ttyUSBn device
# node. Unfortunately, the gpsd script runs BEFORE the creation of
# the node, and the node is not created until after you kill the
# gpsd script, because the gpsd script waits forever for the node
# to appear.
#
# This is a race condition, and is best fixed by running the
# actual wait/hotplug portion in the background.
