[TriLUG] hotplug problem

[paul peeler]

I asked some about this same issue a while back, just bumping it up to
see if anyone has any insight.

I'm running Fedora Core 1, 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl, Thinkpad T40p. My daily
machine is a Debian Sid machine with which hotplug has "not" been an
issue when sleeping the laptop. Meaning, if I shut down hotplug via
"/etc/init.d/hotplug stop" before sleeping it, I can bring it up after
resume without issue. A work around I know, but I haven't gotten around
to adding that functionality to my apm start scripts. t should be noted
that the reason for wanting to restart it in the first place is to
ensure that usb gets restarted, as the bus stops responding after sleep,
even if removing and re-inserting the modules. However, in my Fedora
install, hotplug doesn't appear as a service in /etc/init.d/*, and the
docs I have read through point only to the individual scripts that
hotplug controls (pci, usb, etc..) and not a a "global service script".
Am I missing something here? /sbin/hotplug appears to be able to be used
as "/sbin/hotplug DEVICE ARGUMENT" according to the manpage, but start,
stop, etc appear not to be options. Any insight would be welcome here as
to why there is no script in /etc/init.d, or how hotplug is intended to
be stopped and started with this type of installation.

Thanks,

Paul
