Hi all, I issued the following command in crontab. However, the light of my hard drive on every 1 to 2 seconds. It seems doesn't work. So, how can I spin down the hard drive every 3 minutes? */3 * * * * root /sbin/hdparm -y /dev/hda I also tried the following but the light of my hard drive still on every 1 to 2 seconds. Moreover, the command issued with no error message and it says standby for 3 minutes. # /sbin/hdparm -S36 /dev/hda Thanks.
