Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

Decided to install fun_plug so I could telnet in and have a play. Have just added the fan control mod from http://dns323.kood.org/hardware:fan
I followed the section under 'The nitty gritty step' and just added the /mnt/HD_a2/ctrl_fanspeed.sh at the bottom of my unchanged fun_plug file. As directed I copied the contents of the general use script into ctrl_fanspeed.sh and rebooted.
Now my disks never spin down, not once. Before, they span down after 5 mins and only span back up very occasionally (which was annoying in itself)....
The doco for the general use script says "loads the script into RAM disk, so to avoid periodic disk spin-ups". So why are my disks not spinning down now?
Thanks

try
cp /mnt/HD_a2/ctrl_fanspeed.sh /tmp/ctrl_fanspeed.sh
/tmp/ctrl_fanspeed.sh
works for me, my disk spins down

I think the right solution is to copy the "ctrl_fannscript.sh" out of the "start" folder and to write in the last line of your "fun_plug" file the path to your "ctrl_fanscript.sh", e.g. "/mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/etc/"

But I followed the wiki instructions exactly....... why will moving the .sh file to another directory make any difference and which directory should I move it to. I'm new to Linux so please be gentle.....
Thanks
