USB button press detection

[anonymous]

Hello, wasn't quite sure where to ask this....

I have a coolermaster xcraft external hard drive case.

It has a button on the front that performs an action when you install some program in windows.

I was wondering whether it is possible to monitor the usb port to detect the signal this button sends.

Basically i just want ot be able to have the same functionality in linux.

e.g., launching a backup script
