I just got a lacie d2 extreme HD. what I need is a way to run the backup
program (SilverKeeper) automatically when the HD is mounted? The reason is
that I don't always have the drive turned on and not always connected to my
powerbook.

Plain N' Simple, How can I run a program automatically when an external
drive is mounted? you know, like what happens when you connect your iPod
and iTunes automatically opens.

I know that this can be easily done via a Bash/Python script, unfortunatley I
currently don't have enough time to write/test it. So if anyone already have a
script that gets the job done please let know. thanks.
