I have way too much logging coming from hddtemp, which outputs a
couple of lines every 5 seconds into /var/log/syslog.
I tried to find a config file to control this but found nothing in
/etc/default/hddtemp, or any reference from man hddtemp.
If you look at /etc/init.d/hddtemp you will see a line which says
SYSLOG="0"
If that number is greater than zero then it is interpreted as the number
of seconds between logging events. You can change this as you like, but
you have to remember this when the next upgrade of hddtemp takes place.
(Unfortunately I did not find a nicer way to set the logging frequency.)
