I have no idea what would be the right place - probably you are right. I 
just know that rc.local is a place to add commands which should be run at 
boot time.

BTW: As Derek mentioned hibernate in another thread, I checked its effect 
on my machine. The result: my hard disk still had the problem of repeated 
head unload/load after resume from hibernate. So my workaround works for 
me (I don't use hibernate) but others will have to do some more work to 
save the hard disk.
