Udev is the general mechanism for this.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev gives an overview.

Probably a timing issue.  Your script performs some USB activity, then
again before the device has completely finished.  The second operation
(busy device) confuses the software, which resets to put the device into
a known state (this causes the new device number).  When you execute
commands from your script manually, the extra time allows completion of
device activity and no reset occurs.
