[PLUG] Rescan for PS2 Mouse?

Is there a command line tool to rescan for a PS2 mouse?

Short version of story:

Old PS2 mouse on machine 1 died. Tried to replace it with a USB mouse, 
but cable too short. Swapped in another old PS2 mouse from machine 2 and 
moved the USB mouse to that machine.

Got a USB extension cord. Moved the USB mouse back to machine 1. Works fine.

Moved the PS2 mouse back to machine 2. Not recognized.

I know it will work if I reboot, but I'm hoping to be able to just run a 
command line program to find the PS2 mouse.
