-c--cfgfile=<cfgfile>
Load configuration from <cfgfile>. Only available if hdapsd was compiled with libconfig support.
-d--device=<device>
<device> is likely to be hda or sda. Can be given multiple times to protect multiple devices.
-f--force
Force unloading heads, even if kernel thinks different (on pre ATA7 drives). This only works when
adding devices by hand (-d).
-r--force-rotational
Autodetect drives as rotational, even if kernel thinks they are not.
-s--sensitivity=<sensitivity>
How sensitive hdapsd should be to movements. Defaults to 15, higher values mean less sensitive.
-a--adaptive
Adaptive threshold (automatic increase when the built-in keyboard/mouse are used).
-v--verbose
Get verbose statistics.
-b--background
Run the process in the background.
-p--pidfile[=<pidfile>]
Create a pid file when running in background. If <pidfile> is not specified, it's set to
/var/run/hdapsd.pid.
-t--dry-run
Don't actually park the drive.
-y--poll-sysfs
Force use of sysfs interface to accelerometer.
-H--hardware-logic
Uses the hardware fall detection logic instead of the software one. Options --sensitivity and
--adaptive have no effect in this mode.
-S--software-logic
Uses the software fall detection logic even if the hardware one is available.
-L--no-leds
Don't blink the LEDs when a shock is detected.
-l--syslog
Log to syslog instead of stdout/stderr.
-V--version
Display version information and exit.
-h--help
Display help and exit.
You can send SIGUSR1 to deactivate hdapsd for 8 seconds.
