OK, Installed and ran - Took about 25 minutes. Then ran smartctl -t long /dev/hda Reported no errors or never run before.
Then tried to look at the logs for error & selftest and got the following message.(Copied your example into the CLI). ERROR: smartctl requires a device name as the final command-line argument.
Something wrong with what I am doing ??
Yes, you have to type "a device name as the final command-line argument". That will be /dev/hda, probably, depends on your configuration.
Then make the smartd service permanent
And how/where do I do that. Then run it as a chron ?? Sorry about my ignorance. I think this is very important and would like to have it work.
As every other service: in yast, "System/Runlevel Editor". Or, on the CLI "chkconfig smartd on". -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
