Meant to get back sooner on this, sorry.

One issue is that it makes the assumption that the distro has a hdparm
initscript. None of the distros I've used have had one, so I don't
think this is universal. What system are you using? It might end up
being something that's distro specific. Here's what fedora does:

http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/pm-utils/devel/pm-utils-99hd-apm-restore?view=markup

It may also be that hdparm upstream won't be that receptive, but
there's only one way to find out. :)
