Greetings,
I am attempting to find how to get notified about CD/DVD media
availability in non-desktop circumstances, e.g. an operator walks to a
server and inserts a blank DVD which then becomes a candidate for backups.
My guess is that I should look at either HAL or D-BUS, but I would like
to hear about the pros and cons of each solution: as far as I know, HAL
feeds D-BUS but the latter is mainly intended for desktop applications,
so in my use case might not even be there. I could poll the device once
a minute, but I would hate to do so.
Thank your for your consideration,
Davide Bolcioni
