Re: [tlug] Kickstart udev without restarting the computer

[Dave M G <martin@example.com>]

Shakthi,

Thank you for responding.

Sheepishly, I have to say that it's working now, for no reason that I 
can discern. I am sure that all of yesterday my Palm was not working, 
and there were no ttyUSB* files in the /dev directory.

And then this morning, when I got up and tried your commands, it looked 
like there was a Palm device attached, and there were /dev/ttyUSB* files 
present.

I'm baffled. Could a long wait have helped?
