Is there a way to execute a specific script or open a file with a particular program when inserting a USB stick on Ubuntu like the autorun.inf
file in Windows ? If not, is there another way ?
EDIT:
According to the answer I got I have created a file in the USB root folder named autorun
with the above contents:
#!/bin/sh
xdg-open myText.txt
I have also created a file named autorun.inf
with the above contents:
[autorun]
icon=icon.ico
The autorun.inf
file specifies the USB icon.
From the above autorun files only the autorun.inf
seems to work. The autorun
script file, when executed it displays the above message.
Am I doing something wrong or there are some more parameters to be configured in order to run the script ?
P.S: The files myText.txt and icon.ico are placed in the USB root folder.
Moreover, the autorun
and autorun.inf
file mode bits have been set to 755, using :
cd /path/to/usbFolder
chmod 755 autorun
chmod 755 autorun.inf
