Not from cron. smartd itself has this capability. It is configured in /etc/smartd.conf. It starts it with delays, and check, whether the last check already finished. In that case no problems, I was thinking the idea was a /etc/cron.*/thing
No, it should be a task for smartd itself. smartd has its own self test scheduler that is aware of running tests. And smartd has to be running to poll for self test results. (Self test could take days to finish.) Doing it in cron would require code duplicating smartd. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +49 911 7405384547 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 084 001 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ PGP: 830B 40D5 9E05 35D8 5E27 6FA3 717C 209F A04F CD76 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
