fpmurphy, that link did not work for me.

massimo_rati, you cannot have a process magically spring into existence because a cd has been inserted. You can write a daemon that will notice a cd insertion. SunOS comes with a volume manager that notices cd insertions and mounts the cd. Other versions of unix might have something similiar. This would be a problem for you. Most likely, only one such program could be running.

How this works will depend on the cd driver. You need to find the docs for your cd driver and read them.

Ideally, you will simply use open(2) on the device file for the cd. And you will not use O_NONBLOCK nor O_NDELAY. Thus the open will block until the device is ready.

But anything is possible. You're at the mercy of the driver's author.

NAME
parse_dynamic_clustertoc - parse clustertoc file based on dynamic entries SYNOPSIS
cdrom/export/exec/sparc.Solaris_2.x/sbin/install.d/parse_dynamic_clustertoc cdrom/export/exec/i386.Solaris_2.x/sbin/install.d/parse_dynamic_clustertoc DESCRIPTION
This script parses the clustertoc file before the suninstall(1M) process is run. parse_dynamic_clustertoc is called by a modified syscon- fig script on the install CD. When parse_dynamic_clustertoc runs, it reads the clustertoc and when it encounters SUNW_CSRMBRIFF lines, it either checks the platform using the script's builtin function, or calls an external script. The script exits with a 0 if the cluster entry is included, otherwise it will be ignored. If the cluster entry is to be included, the SUNW_CSRMBRIFF =(test test_arg)cluster line is converted to SUNW_CSRMEMBER =cluster. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Checking For an SX Framebuffer The following is an example of a simple external test to check for an SX Framebuffer. The entry in the clustertoc file is shown and fol- lowing that is the script that must be placed in the install.d/dynamic_test directory. SUNW_CSRMBRIFF=(smcc.dctoc sx)SUNWCsx #! /bin/sh # # Likewise, this file is expected to live under $(TESTDIR). # case "$1" in sx) prtconf -p | grep 'SUNW,sx' 1> /dev/null;; esac FILES
