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 commitDo you know of a "howto" URL that describes enough of the scripted functionality of smartd(8) that I could achieve the above?
