hdapsd README.SLACKWARE - 20090329 Aplies also for hdaps-20090401 We have added a custom /etc/hdapsd.conf file in which you can specify various details about your system without editing the installed init script; however, the init script has sane defaults for most systems. In particular, if your Thinkpad's primary disk drive is not /dev/sda, then you will need to edit the config file. To run hdapsd at boot, add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.hdapsd ]; then /etc/rc.d/rc.hdapsd start fi Then you can simply start the HDAPS daemon without rebooting: /etc/rc.d/rc.hdapsd start
