udev rules for firing up a phone manager on Debian

I just got udev rules working for adding and removal of my Sony Eriksson W760i on Debian Linux. It was a real swine to get working : primarily because of the lack of info about X issues when calling scripts from the udev process. Anyway here is how its done:

1) Create a local udev script file:

/etc/udev/rules.d/z21_local.rules

ACTION=="add",KERNEL=="ttyACM0",SUBSYSTEM=="tty",ATTRS{product}=="Sony Ericsson W760",ATTRS{serial}=="3570670210310730",RUN+="/home/shamrock/bin/phonelaunch",SYMLINK+="w760i"
ACTION=="remove",KERNEL=="ttyACM0",SUBSYSTEM=="tty",RUN+="/home/shamrock/bin/phonekill"


2) Script to lauch Wammu


#!/bin/bash
export HOME = /home/shamrock
set -x
xhost local:shamrock
export DISPLAY=:0.0
cd /home/shamrock
su shamrock -c "/usr/bin/wammu &"


3) Script to clean up on removal


#!/bin/bash
su shamrock -c "pkill wammu"



The details for the udev rules came from running:

sudo udevadm info --name=/dev/ttyACM0 --query=all --attribute-walk


Enjoy!
