Any pointer to where this program is located at?

Caching is good. And yes, something like the above is needed. Hm, but
how can we pass command line arguments to the program to be run?

Not yet, I'm presently having password problems to an external web page.

I have a scsi_id.config file that can be used to set global and per SCSI
vendor + product specific options, but arguments could also be passed via
the PROGRAM string.

But how could they, as we pass the argc and argv from the udev call to
the program defined in the PROGRAM string? Hm, maybe we shouldn't do
that, and rely on command line arguments?

I meant just add to the PROGRAM string, like:
PROGRAM="scsi_id -g"
And add to argc and argv as needed, for example to pass through the
subsystem argument.
