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
             default) 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.

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.
