Here are the quick and dirty instructions

1) [optional] Add your username to the /etc/sudoers file with the NOPASSWD: ALL option set for your username
2) Make sure your usb server is running an SSH server and that you can connect to it as root. [optional] It's also helpful if you have your SSH keys properly configured so the SSH server doesn't prompt you for a password.
3) Copy the text below and save it in your ~/bin directory as connect_usb (or whatever filename you'd like). Don't forget to make the file executable (chmod 755 ~/bin/connect_usb)
4) Change the IP address of USBSRV to the IP address of your server.
5) Once you've configured your IncentivesPro software properly, run sudo ~/bin/connect_usb.

Let me know if you have any questions.
