Standby mode for drive, where does command go? inittab?

Eradicator · 04-16-2004, 08:28 AM

I have figured out that I can put my drive into standby mode by using this command:

hdparm -S 240 /deb/hda

but if I want this to stay with the drive even if I reboot can I add it to the inittab file? Any special formatting? Is the file located at /etc ?

If it is not the inittab file which file allows you to add settings you want to be in effect when you boot?

Thanks

probably at the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local would be best.

i'm not completely sure about the path to that file on mandrake, but i think that's it.
add the command as you would type it at the command prompt.
