Is anyone using Postfix on his laptop? If so, how do you get your disk to spin down? I'm using Debian's package and am having trouble because the time-stamp on the /var/spool/postfix/public/pickup pipe is updated every minute, thus preventing my disk to spin down. Similarly the time-stamp on /var/spool/postfix/public/qmgr is updated every five minutes. I only use Postfix for outgoing mail (the machine never receives mail from outside and has no local mailbox). Of course, I can change the wakeup frequency of those programs, but it seems like it would be even better to just make sure those timestamps aren't changed (I'm enviously seeing all those sockets next to those two pipes, with their mtime unchanged since boot and wishing that those pipes were sockets instead). I'm rather inexperienced when it comes to Postfix, so I have no idea where to start. Stefan |
