I feel like somebody asked me "who's buried in Grant's Tomb" and I
answered "Lincoln". *Of course* you know when a stick has been inserted.

In my personal case, I'd dedicate and easy right hand keystroke to
running the shellscript, because my left hand will be returning from
the computer's USB port at the time. I'd also add stuff to the
shellscript to detect and mount every partition on the just-inserted
stick.
