This is a fork of https://github.com/hephaest0s/usbkill by hephaest0s.
I've kept most of the features so please do check the original README, but here is a list of changes.
- Depends on argparse instead of doing its own parsing of sys.argv
- No Python3 support with ConfigParse (KISS: not necessary)
- Depends on logger instead of implementing its own solution
- No shredding of logs or data supported (KISS: should be handled separately)
- Added ability to reload configuration file when SIGUSR1 is received
- Limited the configuration files to ./usbkill.conf and /etc/usbkill.conf (KISS)
- Added option to skip duplicate USB IDs checking (only to resolve the original issue I had on F21 and Ubuntu 14)
