That sounds good.

So I could send a signal from within the scripts to my application!?
Maybe using " kill -s SIGUSR1 `pidof myapp` " in the start/stop section of the
ide script...

So my app gets the signal everytime "ide start" or "ide stop" gets called...

Is it ok to assume that "cardctl eject" will have the same effect as an card
removal interrupt? 

Thanks,

Steven
