Hi, I have a working kernel module which I would like to execute a Bash script under certain conditions. I`ve spent hours and hours and hours looking for a simple way to do this. Eventually I came across the commands "exec_usermodehelper" and "call_usermodehelper". However I cannot find any tutorials covering these commands and the only source code I have is "kmod.c" from the kernel (not detailed or simple enough for a newbie like me). Could someone please provide a _simple_ worked example of how to use these commands e.g. show me how to execute a Bash script from a kernel module. Any help will be much appreciated. ADVthanksANCE P.
