That isn't really a Ruby question so much as an "is there a library/API to do this and can I use it from Ruby?" question. (If the first answer is yes, the second answer is a qualified yes, though you might need to write a C extension.) What specific USB device are we talking about, and what do you mean by "switch off"? Is this something you already know how to do from another language? -mental
