Hi, What's the best way to get a notification in user space when an overcurrent event occurs on a usb port? The idea is to let a user application notify the user that something is wrong. When a usb port is short-circuited (or otherwise over-loaded), a message like this is sent to the system log: hub 1-1:1.0: over-current change on port 3 So one solution would be to create a chain of pipes, running something like 'tail -f /var/log/messages | egrep "hub.*over-current change"' and read the output from this in the program. Is there a better way (some kind of sysfs interface for port power state, maybe)?
