I'm curious, how is this done? I don't see anything in smartd.conf nor any cronjob. I don't recall receiving any reports either.
My mistake, I overseen that smartd service was not enabled in the default openSUSE preset file after migration to systemd. I am going to fix it, and perform one-time enabling. If smartd runs, it polls hardware twice a hour by default.
However, automatic testing is all very well, but unless someone reads the reports sent by email, they're worthless. I know it is up to the user, but unless he/she is aware, automatic testing has zero value. I suspect the vast majority of emails sent to root@localhost are never read.
This is a problem. If user has a terminal opened, critical issues are displayed there. We need a connection to desktop environment. In past, the reporting was done by powersave-notify. Probably a small application connected to the notification service (that is compatible over desktops), needs to be written. Or, if somebody already wrote it, it should be packages. -- 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
