device automounter for OpenBSD hotplugd(8)
toad (Toad Opens All Devices) is a utility meant to be started from the hotplugd(8) attach and detach scripts. It will try to mount all partitions found on the device under /run/media/${USER}/device. Where ${USER} is the active user login name and device is the type of the device, usb or cd, followed by its number (from 0 to 9). This follows the udev hierarchy in Linux which allows interaction with GLib/GIO's GUnixMount.
Detection of the currently active user is done using ConsoleKit and DBus, toad will not do anything unless these are properly setup and running. Obviously, hotplugd(8) must be running as well.
toadd(8) is an optical medium detection daemon that works in conjunction with the toad(8) automounter. It will detect the insertion of a medium in the optical drives of the machine (maximum 2) by periodically reading their disklabel(8).
See toad(8) for more information about how to create the hotplugd(8) attach and detach scripts. A sample script that can be used as both an attach and a detach script is provided: hotplug-scripts.
