The best way to do that would be to make the script in /etc/init.d that
looks like this
-- CUT --
!#/bin/sh
case "$1" in
start)
# your hdparm commands here
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 start"
esac
-- CUT --
Call it hdparm or something similar and then symlink to it in the
runlevels you wish for it to be run under (2 is the default for most
systems). Eg
$ ln -s /etc/init.d/hdparm /etc/rc2.d/S20hdparm
The name of the link is important here, S specifies the script is to
be "started" and 20 is its prefered start order.
