Suggestion:

- remember which values weren't saved (how many minutes), increasing
  every minute in the powermgmt loop, as a variable in powermgmt
  (e.g. minutes_not_logged)
- write a log_voltage() function in powermgmt that's called every time
  the disk spins up and that does

  if minutes_not_logged > 0
    open logfile
    write values
    close logfile
    minutes_not_logged = 0
  endif

Bye, Uwe.
