User Commands                                   gnome-volcheck(1)



NAME
     gnome-volcheck - monitors removable media

SYNOPSIS
     gnome-volcheck [-i time] [-z time] [-m media-types]

DESCRIPTION
     The  gnome-volcheck  daemon  monitors  removable  media  for
     GNOME.  gnome-volcheck  is  launched  as  a child process of
     gnome-session.

     gnome-volcheck performs the following functions:

       o  Removes any existing notification pipe used  by  gnome-
          volcheck  to  communicate  with Action File Manager, as
          configured by rmmount.conf(4).

       o  Creates a new notification pipe to  which  Action  File
          Manager writes.

       o  Listens on the notification  pipe  and  interprets  the
          data received.

       o  Launches the appropriate applications based on the data
          sent by Action File Manager.


EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
     gnome-volcheck listens to the  events  generated  by  Action
     File  Manager,  but  only processes the media insert events.
     When an insert event occurs, gnome-volcheck  may  perform  a
     number  of  actions. These actions are based on the contents
     of the data files in the /tmp/.removable directory, as  fol-
     lows:

       o  If a data file contains  the  text  password_protected,
          gnome-volcheck  launches the GNOME protect media appli-
          cation to protect the corresponding media.

       o  If a data file  contains  the  text  unformatted_media,
          gnome-volcheck launches the GNOME format media applica-
          tion to format the corresponding media.

       o  If a data file contains  the  text  audio_only,  gnome-
          volcheck launches GNOME CD Player.

       o  If a data file does  not  contain  any  of  the  above,
          gnome-volcheck launches Nautilus file manager to handle
          the  corresponding  media.  For   multisegment   media,
          gnome-volcheck  launches  a  single  file-manager view,
          instead of a file-manager view per segment.

User Commands                                   gnome-volcheck(1)



OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -i time         Specifies the  number  of  seconds  to  wait
                     before starting the file manager.

                     The minimum value is 0 seconds. The  maximum
                     value  is  65535 seconds.  The default value
                     is 30 seconds. If  the  specified  value  is
                     close  to  the minimum or maximum value, the
                     removable media feature may not work. If the
                     specified  value  is  outside  the permitted
                     range, the default value is used.

                     If the file manager is in  the  user's  ses-
                     sion,  the  delay  will ensure that the file
                     manager desktop view is started  instead  of
                     the  file  manager  view,  if  any  media is
                     present in the drive during  login.  If  the
                     file  manager  is not in the user's session,
                     the delay will minimize the impact  of  run-
                     time load on the system.



     -z time         Specifies the  number  of  seconds  to  wait
                     before checking the notification file.

                     The minimum value is 0 seconds. The  maximum
                     value  is  65535 seconds.  The default value
                     is 3 seconds.  If  the  specified  value  is
                     close  to  the minimum or maximum value, the
                     removable media feature may not work. If the
                     specified  value  is  outside  the permitted
                     range, the default value is used.

                     This  option  is  needed  for   multisegment
                     media. Action File Manager creates an insert
                     event per segment. After  3  seconds  sleep,
                     gnome-volcheck  checks  to see whether there
                     are additional insert events. This check  is
                     necessary  to ensure that gnome-volcheck can
                     handle correctly  all  events  generated  by
                     Action File Manager.



     -m media        Specifies the media types to  be  monitored.
                     The supported values are cdrom, floppy, zip,
                     jaz, and dvdrom. If the  -m  option  is  not
                     specified, all media types are monitored.

NOTES
     gnome-volcheck is a system administration program.  It  must
     be  invoked  as  a child of gnome-session. If invoked in any
     other way, gnome-volcheck behavior is not predictable.
