Set Automatic Acoustic Management level on hard drives
Authored by: mickangel on Dec 12, '05 07:48:28AM

Ok, I've managed to script the APM Tuner X so that I don't have to manually set the slider and hit "Set" everytime I reboot.

As the app is not scriptable and the slider does not seem to be selectable from applescript I changed some settings in the APM Tuner X nib file so that the default value for the slider is the value I wanted, then wrote a small applescript utility to pass a 'return' keypress (which presses the "set" button).

Finally I added the script to the startup group. It seems to work: upon bootup the script runs, it opens the APM Tuner X program with the slider set to 211 by default, the sends a 'return' keypress to set the value, finally it closes the APM Tuner app.
