Hm, not convinced, man page doesn't help, runs nice though, think I'll keep it. Is there anything like this for spinning down the cpu fan? (Like an "apm --standby" that runs whenever the system is idle, or does that make sense? I tried the "doze" feature in my bios but this seems to try to put the machine to sleep regardless of what it's doing: it interrupts those tasks briefly and then fails.) What I'm looking for is basically a screensaver that saves not the screen but my ears and power bill. Noflushd is a good start. -chris
