Also, more on laptop-mode. In config file comments I've seen that it is
disabled by default (and it seems devs tried to make it not so obvious
how to really enable it), because it causes odd hangs on some computers.
What sort of hangs are we dealing with? If this was

I finished writing a simple Shell script for monitoring the disk-head
activity.Once started , it beeps if the number of parks exceed a preset
limit , within the given interval of time.You need to have beep
installed for it to work.
P.S : - Running smartctl usually brings the disk out of idle ,
Nothing seems to be working in hardy where it worked in gutsy.
so i am still entering hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda manually after each resume
