[Ubuntu-eg] How to do these stuff in Ubuntu

[Mohamed Nour]

1- You can get the device file name by executing "dmesg", so I'm thinking
of some script of some app that executes "dmesg" & searches the last 2 or 3
lines for the pattern "ttyUSB" to know exactly if it's "ttyUSB0" or
"ttyUSB1" or ...

3- Try to add the execution command of your script at the end of
"/etc/init.d/rcS"
for example: you have "myScript.sh" in /home/user1/Desktop
so add this line at the end of
"/etc/init.d/rcS": /home/user1/Desktop/myScript.sh
