Alternative to udev functionality on OSX
- by S1syphus
I'm trying to create a custom file/check in check out script for external hardrives, however part of the script is from a Linux machine, which I have tested works fine, but uses udevinfo, OS X doesn't have udev, so is there anything that offers the same functionality?
#!/bin/bash
declare -a EXTERNAL_DISKS
declare -a INTERNAL_DISKS
for disk in /dev/[sh]d[a-z]; do
eval `udevinfo -q env -n $disk`
[ "$ID_BUS" = "usb" ] && EXTERNAL_DISKS=( ${EXTERNAL_DISKS[@]} $disk )
[ "$ID_BUS" = "scsi" ] && INTERNAL_DISKS=( ${INTERNAL_DISKS[@]} $disk )
done
echo "Internal disks: ${INTERNAL_DISKS[@]}"
echo "External disks: ${EXTERNAL_DISKS[@]}"
Anybody know any alternatives? Or a way this could be accomplished on OSX using bash?
