udev rule for starting/stopping DisplayLinkManager on plug/unplug
I read about high battery drain with a running DisplayLinkManager so i decided to only start the process when the dock is attached. This is what I have come up with:
Requirements: A working upstart or systemd script At first I created a (very basic) shell script at /usr/local/bin/startDisplayLink.sh for controlling the service because udev can't control services directly. Code:
#!/bin/bash service displaylink $1 Code:
ACTION=="add", ATTR{product}=="Dell D3100 USB3.0 Dock", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/startDisplayLink.sh start" ACTION=="remove", ENV{ID_MODEL}=="Dell_D3100_USB3.0_Dock", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/startDisplayLink.sh stop" |
