Seems like a lot of code for what should be, on Linux anyway, a simple udev rule? echo 'RUN+=/root/usb-changed.sh' > /etc/udev/rules.d/usb-changed.rules Then

Seems like a lot of code for what should be, on Linux anyway, a simple udev rule? echo 'RUN+=/root/usb-changed.sh' > /etc/udev/rules.d/usb-changed.rules Then just put whatever you want to be ran in /root/usb-changed.sh.

I think you would at least add an allowlist of safe (i.e. owned by you) USB ids you don't want to shut your pc/laptop down if connected

  Your script can have the allowlist so you don't have to fiddle with udev everytime you introduce or retire USB-devices.

    But then it's not a oneliner anymore, and the original project starts to make sense.

      It doesn't warrant to make a product that replaces a dedicated feature of the system. To whitelist in usbkill you have to do more than one line too.
