Hi, Thank you very much for your advice. My scripting skills are very modest to say at least, so I used the "RCFILE_01 = script" approach and in my script I put the "hdparm -Y /dev/sda" command. I can target the client(s)that need this by placing the RCFILE_01 variable under the section for the individual client(s) in lts.conf. However when I tested it I had no luck since the command did not get executed at all :-( When I execute my script manually in a shell it works. I did remember to do an "ltsp-update-image" after putting the script init /etc/init.d/. -- Anton ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
