The purpose is to spin up (start) each given \fIDEVICE\fR. +.SH OPTIONS +Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well. +.TP +\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR +print out the usage message then exit. +.TP +\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR +increase level or verbosity. +.TP +\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-wait\fR +wait for the spin up (start) on each given \fIDEVICE\fR to complete. +The default action is to do each start in immediate mode. +.SH NOTES +If a large number of disks are spun up at the same time (i.e. without +the \fI\-\-wait\fR option) then the power supply may be overloaded. +.SH EXIT STATUS +The exit status of this script is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise the +exit status is that of the last sg_start utility called. See +the sg3_utils(8) man page. +.SH AUTHORS +Written by D.
