CD Detect & Execute
CDDE is a program that detects when a CDROM drive has a disc inserted. When it finds a disc inserted in the drive it will attempt to determine the type of disc, and execute a specified command. This means a DVD can be inserted and your favorite DVD software will start, or a data CD can be automatically mounted.

Recent releases
- 18 Nov 2004 02:16
Changes: The program now operates as a daemon unless run in batch mode. All output besides command-line errors are sent via syslog.
- 24 Oct 2003 23:13
Changes: The config file format was changed, and is not backwards compatible. Man pages were added, and the polling delay was fixed to not sleep initially. A command-line option was added for running commands for discs already in the drive, and a batch mode that checks all drives once and exits immediately was added.
- 06 Jan 2003 02:16
Changes: This release increases default wait time while polling, adds SVCD support, changes how disc_has_dir works, and no longer uses mount, so no longer needs to be setuid root.
- 14 Dec 2002 15:20
Changes: The program now silently removes drives from the list of drives to check when it has a problem with that drive.
- 13 Nov 2002 21:09
Changes: A fix for a bug causing cdde to crash when you put in a data CD, and lowering libxml dependency to 2.4.19.

Recent commentsfile COPYING in cdde-0.2.0.tar.gz is an edited GPL v. 2
Erick, please replace your file COPYING with an unmodified GPL v.2. GPL forbids any changes to its document, removing its preamble and appendix is a copyright violation which prevents your software from being distributed.
CDDE 0.2.0 crashes with recent libxml2
To fix it, disable "toupper" function in "string.c"
