If anything, it's harder on the machine to turn it on and off rather than just leave it running. Tread very carefully with hdparm. Instead, I'd suggest looking at apmd to reduce power usage. I used that with success with my laptop. If you have a desktop with a newer motherboard, your motherboard might support the features too. -- Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E.
