Wait. It will bring down _all_ USB buses? Hrm. I think I will just stick with unplugging and plugging it back in. I just have an external hard drive that refuses to go into standby mode/sleep unless I unmount it. However, once it goes to sleep, I haven't been able to bring it out of sleep unless I unplug and plug it back in. It is annoying to have to stand up and go to the computer to mess around with it when I need it, but since I rarely use it that alternative is slightly less annoying then having it constantly whirring. Thanks anyway though! It is another set of commands that I will have to remember. ~Stack~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
