The best way to do that would be to make the script in /etc/init.d that looks like this -- CUT -- !#/bin/sh case "$1" in start) # your hdparm commands here ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 start" esac -- CUT -- Call it hdparm or something similar and then symlink to it in the runlevels you wish for it to be run under (2 is the default for most systems). Eg $ ln -s /etc/init.d/hdparm /etc/rc2.d/S20hdparm The name of the link is important here, S specifies the script is to be "started" and 20 is its prefered start order. -- Cheers, rinmak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
