Description Rebecca Cran freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-05-28 22:31:54 UTC 
I wrote the sysutils/ataidle port back in the FreeBSD 5.x days, and since then FreeBSD has gained the same functionality in the camcontrol(8) program in the base system.

Since I haven't maintained ataidle for a good few years, it should probably be deleted, and any remaining users directed towards the corresponding camcontrol commands.

  camcontrol(8) from the base system should be used instead.
