I am working on an application which deals with all kinds of USB storage devices(such as taking backup, updating DataLogFile etc)

My problem is :

I want to write a shell script which is stored in this USB drive(As usb is at center of my project so USB is going to be same but PC's will change) AND this script should be executed as soon as the USB drive is connected to my Linux system.I will not need any kind of "root" or "sudo" permissions for other tasks which I am going to do in this shell script.

Use the udev rules described in the other question to run a local script. The local script can look for a file on the newly-mounted device and execute it.

(That's kind of risky for security if you think about it.)
