Domoticz + scripts on Synology, drive spindown?

[Thijsvr]

First off let me thank all you guys for the great work you do on Domoticz! With no experience in SSH and little experience in using command line systems I jumped in and started playing with Domoticz and so far I love it. I've decided to install Domoticz on my Microserver Gen8 running DSM 5.1 as to not have more hardware running all day. I won't lie, I think I've spent the better part of 8 hours getting the wifi presence script to work (you can laugh about this, I am ).
I plan on writing a tutorial on how I installed it so others with just as little experience are able to install it without spending as much time as I did.

Now to my question: I have it running on my homeserver with a cron job set to starting the script every 10 minutes (as the tutorial described). However I'm guessing this will prevent the DSM from spinning down my drives. Am I right in thinking this?
If so, what would be a good solution? Would installing a small SSD for these types of tasks be a solution?


Thanks in advance for your reply!
