Notify Raspberry when a new device is connected (USB,SPI,I2C...)

What i´m trying to do is: having a daemon running in the background that notify when a new "wired" device is connected to the raspberry.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks all!
You can check udev. It's possible to write an udev rule to achieve the behavior. In that way you don't even have to write a daemon.

Chef node/client submits its own tag to chef server

Is it possible that a chef client notifies chef server that its new tags/role ? Thank you in advance.
Technically yes but we were literally talking about deprecating this feature today so maybe don't? node.tag('foo') will add that tag to the node. But again, don't do this.

How to use a different user (other than postgres) for managing PostgreSQL

I will need to get PostgreSQL installed on some development/production machines in my company.
However, there are many restrictions:
First, I am not allowed to install it myself because I don't have root access and I am also not allowed to compile it from source. I will need to ask another team to install it from rpm.
Second, PostgreSQL will create/use the account "postgres" to start/stop/control it by default - but we want to use an existing account (e.g. "itdept") to manage (i.e. start/stop/etc.) it.
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions/ideas. Thanks very much!

Creating Powershell script for VMWare using veeam

I am trying to create a script to automate the Veeam backup using PowerShell.
I know in the free version I only have 2 options (Veeamzip and Quick Backup).
I have a Drobo on the network with the share setup and accessible.
I have gone into all the VMWare Hypervisors and created an account with the proper permissions to run a backup.
I am down to creating the syntax for running the backup.
I am confused when I look at their document. I am not sure if I am supposed to use a copy, replication, a backup job, or what.
If I can get the initial syntax to run a backup of one machine I know I can build the script.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
This can not be done with this version of VMWare.

connecting from Linux to windows without logging off the current user on windows

what I'm trying to achieve is to log from linux to a windows machine which is already being used by one user who should not be logged off and the system should be working with both the users simultaneaously .I'm using krdc to connect to windows machine from linux,which logs off the user when other user logs in.Is there any other way to achieve my intension.
Thanks and Regards
You need to have the real Terminal Services installed. Usually the windows (Home,Professional, etc) can be enabled to have Terminal services but only for a 1 single session. If you install Terminal Services you will need to pay the license for users.
To allow multiple connection you should use VNC/teamviewer (is the most simple way to achieve what you want).
