Re: udev rule doesn't fire when device is removed

Hi,

I am trying to get fluidsynth to start and connect itself automatically when a usb midi keyboard is plugged in, and to stop when it is removed. The connecting script works fine, and the rule to trigger when it is plugged in fires OK, but when I remove the device, the rule doesn't trigger again.

The rule I was using is:
ATTR{manufacturer}=="EDIROL", ATTR{product}=="PCR", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/fluidrun"

With this, it detects connections but not disconnections.

I have also tried separating the two rules, like this:

ACTION=="ADD", ATTR{manufacturer}=="EDIROL", ATTR{product}=="PCR", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/fluidrun"
ACTION=="REMOVE", DRIVER=="snd-usb-midi", RUN+="touch /tmp/udevtest"
Sorry, I made a mistake in the second rule - it should have been 'snd-seq-midi'. But this still doesn't work.
