After struggling with my harddisk I noticed that we don't have smartd enabled by default. Shouldn't we change that to get hard disk monitoring by default on every installation? But then IIUC smartd only logs to syslog which a desktop user will never see. Are there any ways to notify deskop users in case of imminent trouble?
I have smartd configured to execute a script that creates a warning message via wall(1) and I think that's a pretty robust solution. It will generate a message on every console a user is logged in (in case he isn't using X), on every terminal emulator, and a desktop notification via kwrited on KDE or xwrited on Xfce/GNOME/LXDE. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
