multiple instances of the same script?

[paul]

Hervé,

The most important thing is that you can and should not miss any events. 
Each events should be dealt with in my opinion.

My udev rules has:
ACTION=="add",    SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="*[!0-9]", 
RUN="/usr/sbin/initctl emit block-device-added %k -eDEVNAME"
So only block device (like /dev/hda) will generate an event, and not 
partitions on a block device (like /dev/hda1). Therefore point 1 is not 
an issue.

My problem is the a second different block device (like /dev/hdb) is not 
dealt with at the moment.
