Possible problems: The script is remounting your ext3 fs if you have it as noatime. Also configuration of rsyslog is changed to not sync. hdparm is setting disc to minimal spins but without use of tuned daemon. Bluetooth will be switch off. Wifi will be switch into power safe mode. Usecase: Safe extra energy on your laptop or home server which wake-up only when you ssh to it. On server could be hdparm and sysctl values problematic for some type of discs. Laptops should be probably ok with these numbers.
