What is ivman?
--------------
Ivman is a generic handler for HAL events. Originally for
automounting, it can now be used to run arbitrary commands when events
or conditions occur or properties are modified on your hardware (e.g.,
run a command when you close your laptop's lid, run a command when a
particular device is attached or a particular CD is inserted, etc).

Ivman is based on HAL, http://hal.freedesktop.org.


Who wrote it?
-------------
Ivman is currently developed by Grégory SCHMITT <gy.schmitt at gmail

sourceforge dot net> and originally developed by Ikke <eikke at users

How do I configure it?

All config files are (standard) located in /etc/ivman. They are plain xml files, just read them, everything is quite self-explaining.
