Can't get it to work
Authored by: Divander on Jan 21, '02 08:07:53AM

I am very new to UNIX, I followed your instructions exactly, but when it came to logout and login again, typing "spinoff" (without "") it says: spinoff: Command not found.
Please help as I am having the same problem with the harddisk spinning down.

Can't get it to work

You might need to type:

rehash

in the terminal. It should then work (provided you have placed your new script in a place like: /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin or wherever you $PATH is set. To get a list of that, type:

env

and next to 'PAT' you should have a list like:

PATH=/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin

Hope that helps somebody.
