Re: [monit] detecting usb events

[Martin Pala]

It depends on what the "symptoms" of connected usb disk are. The  
simplest solution will probably be to use the "check file ..." with  
content test on logfile, which will most probably contain some message  
about the added disk.

The content description and example is here:
