Doesn't seem to work for me...
Authored by: Ryan0751 on Oct 12, '02 12:05:17PM
I tried to set this up with 10.2, and it doesn't seem to prevent my Maxtor from sleeping (hard disk spindown is turned off in the system control panel of course). I tried both the cron job doing an "ls" as well as the "touch" method. I verified that the cron job is actually touching the file (if I delete it it does reappear). Any suggestions? This is VERY annoying and slows down my system considerably.
