hotplug script needs to sleep before calling pand

Hello,

my /etc/hotplug.d/usb/epox-bluetooth.hotplug script needs to sleep before it can start pand, otherwith pand won't call /etc/bluetooth/pan/dev-up (and it will also not bring up the device directly as discussed in a separate posting).

The script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
pidfile=/var/run/pand.pid
DAEMON=/usr/bin/pand

CHARS=echo $DEVPATH| wc -c
VERSION=echo $DEVPATH|cut -c $((CHARS-3))-$CHARS

(date
echo $DEVPATH
echo $PRODUCT
echo $TYPE
echo $ACTION
echo $CHARS
echo $VERSION) >> /tmp/epox.log

case echo $PRODUCT|cut -d / -f 1-2 in

        # a12/1/525 and a12/1/828 have been seen for the Epox BT DB02A
        a12/1) break ;;
        *) exit ;;
esac
case $TYPE in
        224/1/1) break ;;
        *) exit ;;
esac
case $ACTION in
        add)
            if [ ! -z VERSION ]; then
              if [ $VERSION = 1.0 ]; then
                sleep 1
                start-stop-daemon --start --exec $DAEMON -- --nodetach --role 
PANU --search --encrypt --pidfile $pidfile
              fi
            fi
            ;;
        remove)
            start-stop-daemon --stop --exec $DAEMON --pidfile $pidfile
            ifdown bnep0
            ;;
esac

Any ideas why sleep is needed (and 0.5 seconds are not enough) are welcome.

Thanks,
Rainer
