I'm using the grml small 0.4. I created a hotplug event that automatically copy files to the USB stick when it's plugin. The stick is Sandisk micro cruzer 2G USB stick. Here is the dilema: I don't know when the copy will be completed without looking at the monitor, and I'm planning not to use any monitor. Is there a way to control the led; make it blinks every second when files are being copy to the stick, and/or (the most importance part) to turn OFF the led when the device is unmounted? (the "other" popular OS turns off the led when the "Safely remove hardware" is selected). Can Grml do the same action?
Does manually loading the usbled kernel module help?
If you want to trigger the *keyboard* LEDs on your own: there exist several tools:
% acs led blink | grep -ie led -ie blink blinkd - Blinks keyboard LEDs e.g. for answering machine or fax ixbiff - notify user when mail arrives by blinking keyboard LEDs ledcontrol - scriptable keyboard led control ledcontrol-gtk - frontend for ledcontrol libparportled - manage an LED device plugged on a parallel port libparportled-dev - manage an LED device plugged on a parallel port - development files mailleds - Blink the keyboard-LEDs for incoming mail tleds - blinks keyboard LEDs for TX and RX network packets
