Hi Aldemir,

That sounds like a good idea--give the Linux port the option to exit once
it processes all devices from sysfs. If run again by root manually, it
will "patch" /dev by adding new nodes for new devices and remove nodes for
devices no longer present. Is this what you had in mind? If so, can you
open an issue on the issue tracker [1] describing this, and tag it as a
"feature request"?

Thanks,
Jude
