[LUG] Autoplay equivalent in linux?

["Jonathan Melhuish" <jon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

It's been a while since I last posted, I haven't really been keeping up  
with the list, sorry!  I've started the first year of a BSc in Computer  
Science and Artificial Intelligence at Birmingham Uni.  It's really  
interesting course, but time seems to fly by without me making much  
progress on my various linux projects... I blame all this "socialising"  
malarkey! ;-)

One of my ongoing projects is to make a headless box act as a network  
server and streaming audio jukebox.  As part of this, I'd like to make an  
interfaceless CD copier that works like this:

*  If an audio CD appears in the drive, rip it (using shell script)
*  If there is also a blank CD-R in the burner, burn a copy from ripped  
files

Has anybody got any idea how I could do this?  Is there any way to start a  
script when an audio CD is detected?  Or just probe regularly to see if  
there is one there?

Cheers,

Jon
