I have a simple question perhaps someone can help me with here...
I have one of those simple LED keyboard lamps that get their power from the USB port. Is there some way in Linux, using files under /sys I would imagine, to cut power to the USB port into which this lamp is plugged? I know I would have to manually figure out what port it's plugged into, as it is not a "real" USB device...e.g. it just draws power. I would like to be able to programmatically switch the lamp on and off.
Thanks in advance, Andrew Barr
