Re: "Using hdparm in limited user accounts" or "starting progs with admin rights before waking up from hibernation"

Hi, when I use Hibernate Trigger programs are not executed with admin
rights. It is just like starting the batch myself by clicking when
returning from hibernation to my limited account.

Hi everybody,

I am using the programm hdparm to modify the settings of my HDD
(especially Advanced Power Management). This program works fine, but
has to be executed in each session. This is no problem, because it can
simply be but into a batch file and placed in the start-up folder.

However, I frequently use limited user accounts. Here, the command
does not work. It terminates with "hda: Permission denied". Is there
an option to let windows execute the command before I log into the
limited user account and thus to keep the option set while I work in
that account? I also have to mention that I usually use the hibernate
function, so actually, there is no real start-up process.

The situation is the following: When I am looged in as an admin and
start hdparm and then change into a limited account everything is fine
and the HDD option is set. When I then put the computer into
hibernation and then wake it up again next morning the setting is gone
and I have to switch to an admin account to make hdparm set the option
again.

Does anybody of you have an idea how I could solve this problem?

Greetings.

Since this program affects the system, not the user session, you should
execute the command as part of your startup process. It would be
sufficient to schedule your batch file to run at boot time. Don't invoke
it as part of the logon process.

When returning from hibernation then you could use Hibernate Trigger
to invoke your batch file again:http://www.desimonesystems.com/suspendtrigger/index.php
I haven't tried it myself - this is an educated guess.
