Will the computer your intending to run this from have a shell to execute your script? If not you will need to put a copy of the shell on the USB drive too.
Use autorun.inf:
Note: This is a popular way for viruses to propagate themselves, so a lot of computers are now setup to not autorun USB devices. This may mean you user will still need to manually start the script so it's probably best to put a shortcut that does that for them (eg Setup.lnk or Install.lnk).

I need a way to reliably detect a USB storage device from a bash script. I know how to use 'lsusb' to list the USB devices - but then how can I match a device listed in 'lsusb' output to an actual disk device? Is there some way to map one to the other?
Any help appreciated. (3 Replies)

times(1) User Commands times(1)NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell
SYNOPSIS
sh
times
ksh
times
DESCRIPTION
sh
Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.
ksh
Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
