It's highly configurable. It also logs to syslog, and mails can be
disabled entirely or replaced by some other scripted function.
My process is something like:
# cd /hardware/manufacturer/model/serial
# smartctl -t long /dev/disk/by-id/ata-model-serial
# # wait until test is done
# smartctl -x /dev/disk/by-id/ata-model-serial > smartctl.out
# cvs commit
Do you know of a "howto" URL that describes enough of the scripted
functionality of smartd(8) that I could achieve the above?
