To Klaus Knopper, the creator of Knoppix

Dear Mr. Knopper,
When I click Eject Removable Media, the LEDs of my USB thumbdrives (we call them pendrives) keep glowing.
I have found two packages that help power off the concerned USB port: (1) udisks and (2) udisksctl. The monitor option helps keep track of the status of the drives, and the commands:

Code:

---

udisks --monitor-detail

---

.. This can also be achieved real-time with enumerate option.
or

Code:

---

udisksctl monitor

---

I have created a simple routine with grep "by-id" to find out which drive is running in which usb port, and then use appropriate commands:

Code:

---

--unmount device_file

---

and

Code:

---

--detach device_file

---

; or

Code:

---

udisksctl unmount

---

and

Code:

---

udisksctl power-off

---

to power off the usb port in question and helps ease taking the drive off the concerned port.
However, I can't create a script and then bind the script with the right click / Eject Removable Media event.
Debian Lenny has this option of powering off the usb ports.
How to do this? Could you incorporate this in your later releases?
