Easiest means is probably using the do shell script command. In the terminal

sudo pmset -c spindown 5
will set the spin downtime to 5 minutes

sudo pmset -c spindown 0
will set the spindown time to never

Kind of cool that you can control it more precisely as well. The commands above are when attached to power. do a man pmset to find the rest.

I would like to automate the Energy Saver in System Preferences and toggle the 'Put the hard disk to sleep when possible' check box. So I can easily change modes. What are the hooks to control that feature?
Thanks,
Curtis
