###################################
# HD_Standby_script v1.0 #
# Scripted by stinkefisch for fun #
###################################
#
# Problem:
#
# Some hard drives are going into standby mode after a few minutes and when the recording timer
# kicks in (at night time) no data gets written to the disk because the disk is mounted in
# ready-only and the recording fails.
#
# Info:
#
# This script wakes up your HD (hopefully) 2 mins before the recording Event
# and remounts the HD read/write for recording.
# The script checks for a new added timer every 60 sec and compares
# the timer with the current epoch time of the system.
#
# I have tested this script with an AAF E2 image on Kathrein UFS 910 with external HD on BA.
# There is no guarantee this script will work 100% but it does for me.
#
# Instructions
#
# 1. mkdir -p /var/etc/HD_Standby_script/
#
# 2. ftp sdparm to /bin on Kathrein
#
# 3. chmod 755 /bin/sdparm
#
# 4. ftp HD_stby_timer.sh to /var/etc/HD_Standby_script/
#
# 5. chmod 755 /var/etc/HD_Standby_script/HD_stby_timer.sh
#
# 6. ftp start_HD.sh to /var/etc/HD_Standby_script/
#
# 7. chmod 755 /var/etc/HD_Standby_script/start_HD.sh
#
# 8. Add this line to the end of /var/etc/autostart/start.sh
# ### BEFORE THE exit COMMAND ###
# /var/etc/HD_Standby_script/start_HD.sh
#
# 9. chmod -R 755 /var/etc/HD_Standby_script.
#
# 10. Restart the receiver. simsalabim ..........
