When moving my macbook it sometimes switch off unexpectedly (black screen) and switch on again after several seconds.
I remember solving the problem several month ago by changing a internal MacOS X settings with such a command:
defaults write com.apple.??????
This command disabled the automatic shock detection system that prevent hard drive damage.
Does someone knows this command? a better alternative?

Disable the Sudden Motion Sensor to avoid the harddrive heads parking them due to loud noise in a club.
To check if Sudden Motion Sensor is activated, use the following command and look for the sms setting (1 = enabled) :
# sudo pmset -g
To disable Sudden Motion Sensor, use the following command :
# sudo pmset -a sms 0
To enable Sudden Motion Sensor, use the following command :
# sudo pmset -a sms 1

thank you for that but I have one question: what is the first line for : sudo pmset -g ? – Martin Delille – 2013-02-08T14:25:40.690
I found by myself : this is to check the current value. – Martin Delille – 2013-02-08T14:27:30.767
