Hello Suse people. I installed the smartmontools just to keep an eye on my two hard drives. Would be great to know if one of them is about to die. Run a check on them, say once a day, on boot-up? Read the smartd man page, all 1,616 lines of it. Very informative and very inconclusive. Doesn't tell me what to do. And I really don't need to know all of the options or everything about it. I just simply want to monitor the hard drives on a daily basis and send me an email message that everything is OK, or is not. I can run the commands individually from the cli. Soooo, humor me here please. How do I get it to do that? Bob S.
