udev rule at boot time
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP up vote

I have a udev rule to execute a simple command when a USB device is plugged (any device).
The rule is:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'xhost +local:pi; sudo -u pi xscreensaver-command -lock'"
This works quite well and the screen is blocked when I plug something into any of the USB ports.
But this isn't working when I already boot with the device plugged in. I expected to boot with the screen already locked.
What can I do to execute this rule at boot time? Is it possible?

Trysudo udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm triggerand if that works incorporate it into boot after appropriate sleep of 10 seconds or so.

X server starts late, so your script run in vain before it's up. It could be worthy to create a python script as daemon which watch for devices using pyudev.

Thanks @user.dz, that was the answer. I used a Python script to do the task and it worked.
