This is setting a shell variable.. so if you want to have more than one 'word' in there you need to put it in quotes. So... $ EXTRA_PARAMS=-X66 -u1 bash: -u1: command not found $ echo $EXTRA_PARAMS $ EXTRA_PARAMS="-X66 -u1" $ echo $EXTRA_PARAMS -X66 -u1 $ ... so use the version with "s in your config file... > Also, does anyone know if hdparm's "-k" option is implied when I use > /etc/sysconfig/harddisks? > *shurg* M. -- WebCentral Pty Ltd Australia's #1 Internet Web Hosting Company Level 1, 96 Lytton Road.
