GSTOPD(8)		    System Manager's Manual		     GSTOPD(8)

NAME
       gstopd -- stop disks in the case	of inactivity using GEOM statistics

SYNOPSIS
       gstopd [-I interval] diskX ...

DESCRIPTION
       The  gstopd daemon can be used to stop disks after an certain amount of
       inactivity using	geom(4)	statisics.  Messages get logged	via  syslog(3)
       using the local0.info priority.

       The options are as follows:

       -I interval
	       The  amount  of inactivity in seconds of	a disk after which the
	       disk should get stopped Adding a	suffix of m, h,	or s (the  de-
	       fault)  indicates that the update interval is specified in min-
	       utes, hours, or seconds,	respectively.

       diskX   Specifies one or	more disks  which  should  get	monitored  and
	       stoped if appropriate.

SEE ALSO
       gstat(8)	geom(4)

HISTORY
       A gstopd	utility	appeared in FreeBSD 5.2.

BUGS
       The  gstopd  daemon is currently	only able to stop disks	which are con-
       nected to CAM(4)	subsystem.

       Since it	stops disks using the external camcontrol(8) tool it  will  be
       difficult to get	the disk with the root filesystem on it	stopped.
