(Suspend to disk, in this case.) /etc/pm/hooks/ seems to be a place that is like /etc/init.d but for suspend and resume -- I guess the same for Hibernate. For example I have one guy in there called "99resolution" I see: #!/bin/sh case "$1" in thaw|resume) { /sbin/service 915resolution start ; } 2>/dev/null ;; *) ;; esac exit $? It's pretty clear that copying that into a file "/etc/pm/hooks/50stophddclick" and replacing the { /sbin/service...null part with hdparm -B 192 /dev/sda or 254 or whatever your magic number was would be a good bet for getting run on resume or "thaw"... I guess that is specifically what it is run with when coming out of hibernate. -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
