.Sh NAME
.Nm gstopd
.Nd stop disks in the case of inactivity using GEOM statistics
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl I Ar interval
diskX ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
daemon can be used to stop disks after an certain amount of
inactivity using
.Xr geom 4
statisics.
Messages get logged via
.Xr syslog 3
using the local0.info priority.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl I Ar interval
The amount of inactivity in seconds of a disk after which the disk should get stopped
Adding a suffix of
.Cm m , h ,
or
.Cm s
(the default) indicates that the update interval is specified in
minutes, hours, or seconds, respectively.
.Pp
.It diskX
Specifies one or more disks which should get monitored 
and stoped if appropriate.
.El
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr gstat 8
.Xr geom 4
.Sh HISTORY
A
.Nm
utility appeared in
.Fx 5.2 .
.Sh BUGS
The
.Nm
daemon is currently only able to stop disks which are connected to
.Xr CAM 4
subsystem.
.Pp
Since it stops disks using the external
.Xr camcontrol 8
tool it will be difficult to get the disk with the root filesystem
on it stopped.
