- DiskKicker is a simple commodity to avoid annoying spin up
- pauses etc. on hard drives where the power management features
- can't be dissabled. It accepts 2 tooltypes/command line args :-
-
- PATHNAME=
- Specifies path where kick files are created/removed
-
- INTERVAL=
- Interval between kicks
- 1=2secs 2=4secs 3=8secs 4=16secs (4secs is default)
-
- I've included the E source code as well, it's just a modified
- RKM example of a commodity.
-
- Any comments etc. e-mail jg@actuality.demon.co.uk
-
- DiskKicker is Freeware and though i don't expect it to cause any
- problems you use it at your own risk.
