Or, for hard drives, I have in my rc.local

/sbin/atacontrol spindown ad1 3600

from base system.

acpi HD spin down and CPU sleep

2009-06-02 Thread mojo fms
How would I configure freebsd 7.1 (7.2 upgrade in the future) to sleep the
HD's and maybe sleep the CPU after an idle time out?  I am trying to save
power and I would like it to wake on network requests and HD needs.  I read
the handbook and looked at the acpiconf man page and such but I have not
seen anything about doing this really.

Thanks
