501: .B \-n POWERMODE[,N][,q]
502: [ATA only] This \'nocheck\' Directive is used to prevent a disk from
503: being spun-up when it is periodically polled by \fBsmartd\fP.
504:
505: ATA disks have five different power states. In order of increasing
506: power consumption they are: \'OFF\', \'SLEEP\', \'STANDBY\', \'IDLE\',
507: and \'ACTIVE\'. Typically in the OFF, SLEEP, and STANDBY modes the
508: disk\'s platters are not spinning. But usually, in response to SMART
509: commands issued by \fBsmartd\fP, the disk platters are spun up. So if
510: this option is not used, then a disk which is in a low\-power mode may
511: be spun up and put into a higher\-power mode when it is periodically
512: polled by \fBsmartd\fP.
513:
514: Note that if the disk is in SLEEP mode when \fBsmartd\fP is started,
515: then it won't respond to \fBsmartd\fP commands, and so the disk won't
516: be registered as a device for \fBsmartd\fP to monitor. If a disk is in
517: any other low\-power mode, then the commands issued by \fBsmartd\fP to
518: register the disk will probably cause it to spin\-up.
519:
520: The \'\fB\-n\fP\' (nocheck) Directive specifies if \fBsmartd\fP\'s
521: periodic checks should still be carried out when the device is in a
522: low\-power mode. It may be used to prevent a disk from being spun\-up
523: by periodic \fBsmartd\fP polling. The allowed values of POWERMODE
524: are:
525:
526: .I never
527: \- \fBsmartd\fP will poll (check) the device regardless of its power
528: mode. This may cause a disk which is spun\-down to be spun\-up when
529: \fBsmartd\fP checks it. This is the default behavior if the '\-n'
530: Directive is not given.
531:
532: .I sleep
533: \- check the device unless it is in SLEEP mode.
534:
535: .I standby
536: \- check the device unless it is in SLEEP or STANDBY mode. In
537: these modes most disks are not spinning, so if you want to prevent
538: a laptop disk from spinning up each time that \fBsmartd\fP polls,
539: this is probably what you want.
540:
541: .I idle
542: \- check the device unless it is in SLEEP, STANDBY or IDLE mode.
543: In the IDLE state, most disks are still spinning, so this is probably
544: not what you want.
545:
546: Maximum number of skipped checks (in a row) can be specified by
547: appending positive number \',N\' to POWERMODE (like \'\-n standby,15\').
548: After N checks are skipped in a row, powermode is ignored and the
549: check is performed anyway.
550:
551: When a periodic test is skipped, \fBsmartd\fP normally writes an
552: informal log message. The message can be suppressed by appending
553: the option \',q\' to POWERMODE (like \'\-n standby,q\').
554: This prevents a laptop disk from spinning up due to this message.
555:
556: Both \',N\' and \',q\' can be specified together.

866: startup.
867:
868: By default, email is sent using the system
869: .B mail
870: command. In order that
871: \fBsmartd\fP
872: find the mail command (normally /bin/mail) an executable named
873: .B \'mail\'
874: must be in the path of the shell or environment from which
875: \fBsmartd\fP
876: was started. If you wish to specify an explicit path to the mail
877: executable (for example /usr/local/bin/mail) or a custom script to
878: run, please use the \'\-M exec\' Directive below.
879:
880: .\" %IF OS Solaris
881: Note that by default under Solaris, in the previous paragraph,
882: \'\fBmailx\fP\' and \'\fB/bin/mailx\fP\' are used, since Solaris
883: \'/bin/mail\' does not accept a \'\-s\' (Subject) command-line
884: argument.

886: .\" %ENDIF OS Solaris
887: .\" %IF OS Windows
888: On Windows, the \'\fBBlat\fP\' mailer
889: (\fBhttp://blat.sourceforge.net/\fP) is used by default.
890: This mailer uses a different command line syntax, see
891: \'\-M exec\' below.
892:
893: .\" %ENDIF OS Windows
894: Note also that there is a special argument
895: .B <nomailer>
896: which can be given to the \'\-m\' Directive in conjunction with the \'\-M
897: exec\' Directive. Please see below for an explanation of its effect.
898:
899: If the mailer or the shell running it produces any STDERR/STDOUT
900: output, then a snippet of that output will be copied to SYSLOG. The
901: remainder of the output is discarded. If problems are encountered in
902: sending mail, this should help you to understand and fix them. If
903: you have mail problems, we recommend running \fBsmartd\fP in debug
904: mode with the \'-d\' flag, using the \'-M test\' Directive described
905: below.
906: .\" %IF OS Windows
907:
908: The following extension is available on Windows:
909: By specifying \'\fBmsgbox\fP\' as a mail address, a warning
910: "email" is displayed as a message box on the screen.
911: Using both \'\fBmsgbox\fP\' and regular mail addresses is possible,
912: if \'\fBmsgbox\fP\' is the first word in the comma separated list.
913: With \'\fBsysmsgbox\fP\', a system modal (always on top) message box
914: is used.
915:
916: If running as a service, a service notification message box
917: (always shown on current visible desktop) is used. Please note that
918: service notification message boxes are no longer supported on Windows
919: Vista/2008 or later.

921: .TP
922: .B \-M TYPE
923: These Directives modify the behavior of the
924: \fBsmartd\fP
925: email warnings enabled with the \'\-m\' email Directive described above.
926: These \'\-M\' Directives only work in conjunction with the \'\-m\'
927: Directive and can not be used without it.
928:
929: Multiple \-M Directives may be given. If more than one of the
930: following three \-M Directives are given (example: \-M once \-M daily)
931: then the final one (in the example, \-M daily) is used.
932:
933: The valid arguments to the \-M Directive are (one of the following
934: three):
935:
936: .I once
937: \- send only one warning email for each type of disk problem detected. This
938: is the default unless state persistence (\'\-s\' option) is enabled.
939:
940: .I daily
941: \- send additional warning reminder emails, once per day, for each type
942: of disk problem detected. This is the default if state persistence
943: (\'\-s\' option) is enabled.
944:
945: .I diminishing
946: \- send additional warning reminder emails, after a one-day interval,
947: then a two-day interval, then a four-day interval, and so on for each
948: type of disk problem detected. Each interval is twice as long as the
949: previous interval.
950:
951: If a disk problem is no longer detected, the internal email counter is
952: reset. If the problem reappears a new warning email is sent immediately.
953:
954: In addition, one may add zero or more of the following Directives:
955:
956: .I test
957: \- send a single test email
958: immediately upon
959: \fBsmartd\fP
960: startup. This allows one to verify that email is delivered correctly.
961: Note that if this Directive is used,
962: \fBsmartd\fP
963: will also send the normal email warnings that were enabled with the \'\-m\' Directive,
964: in addition to the single test email!
965:
966: .I exec PATH
967: \- run the executable PATH instead of the default mail command, when
968: \fBsmartd\fP
969: needs to send email. PATH must point to an executable binary file or
970: script.
971:
972: By setting PATH to point to a customized script, you can make
973: \fBsmartd\fP perform useful tricks when a disk problem is detected
974: (beeping the console, shutting down the machine, broadcasting warnings
975: to all logged-in users, etc.) But please be careful. \fBsmartd\fP
976: will \fBblock\fP until the executable PATH returns, so if your
977: executable hangs, then \fBsmartd\fP will also hang. Some sample
978: scripts are included in
979: /usr/local/share/doc/smartmontools/examplescripts/.
980:
981: The return status of the executable is recorded by \fBsmartd\fP in
982: SYSLOG. The executable is not expected to write to STDOUT or
983: STDERR. If it does, then this is interpreted as indicating that
984: something is going wrong with your executable, and a fragment of this
985: output is logged to SYSLOG to help you to understand the problem.
986: Normally, if you wish to leave some record behind, the executable
987: should send mail or write to a file or device.
988:
989: Before running the executable, \fBsmartd\fP sets a number of
990: environment variables. These environment variables may be used to
991: control the executable\'s behavior. The environment variables
992: exported by \fBsmartd\fP are:
993: .RS 7
994: .IP \fBSMARTD_MAILER\fP 4
995: is set to the argument of \-M exec, if present or else to \'mail\'
996: (examples: /bin/mail, mail).
997: .IP \fBSMARTD_DEVICE\fP 4
998: is set to the device path (examples: /dev/hda, /dev/sdb).
999: .IP \fBSMARTD_DEVICETYPE\fP 4
1000: is set to the device type specified by \'-d\' directive or
1001: \'auto\' if none.
1002: .IP \fBSMARTD_DEVICESTRING\fP 4
1003: is set to the device description. For SMARTD_DEVICETYPE of ata or
1004: scsi, this is the same as SMARTD_DEVICE. For 3ware RAID controllers,
1005: the form used is \'/dev/sdc [3ware_disk_01]\'. For HighPoint
1006: RocketRAID controller, the form is \'/dev/sdd [hpt_1/1/1]\' under Linux
1007: or \'/dev/hptrr [hpt_1/1/1]\' under FreeBSD. For Areca controllers, the
1008: form is \'/dev/sg2 [areca_disk_09]\' on Linux or \'/dev/arcmsr0 [areca_disk_09]\' on FreeBSD. In these cases the device string
1009: contains a space and is NOT quoted. So to use $SMARTD_DEVICESTRING in a
1010: bash script you should probably enclose it in double quotes.
1011: .IP \fBSMARTD_FAILTYPE\fP 4
1012: gives the reason for the warning or message email. The possible values that
1013: it takes and their meanings are:
1014: .nf
1015: .fi
1016: \fIEmailTest\fP: this is an email test message.
1017: .nf
1018: .fi
1019: \fIHealth\fP: the SMART health status indicates imminent failure.
1020: .nf

1028: \fIErrorCount\fP: the number of errors in the ATA error log has increased.
1029: .nf
1030: .fi
1031: \fICurrentPendingSector\fP: one of more disk sectors could not be
1032: read and are marked to be reallocated (replaced with spare sectors).
1033: .nf
1034: .fi
1035: \fIOfflineUncorrectableSector\fP: during off\-line testing, or self\-testing,
1036: one or more disk sectors could not be read.

1052: .nf
1053: .fi
1054: \fIFailedOpenDevice\fP: the open() command to the device failed.
1055: .IP \fBSMARTD_ADDRESS\fP 4
1056: is determined by the address argument ADD of the \'\-m\' Directive.
1057: If ADD is \fB<nomailer>\fP, then \fBSMARTD_ADDRESS\fP is not set.
1058: Otherwise, it is set to the comma-separated-list of email addresses
1059: given by the argument ADD, with the commas replaced by spaces
1060: (example:admin@example.com root). If more than one email address is
1061: given, then this string will contain space characters and is NOT
1062: quoted, so to use it in a bash script you may want to enclose it in
1063: double quotes.
1064: .IP \fBSMARTD_MESSAGE\fP 4
1065: is set to the one sentence summary warning email message string from
1066: \fBsmartd\fP.
1067: This message string contains space characters and is NOT quoted. So to
1068: use $SMARTD_MESSAGE in a bash script you should probably enclose it in
1069: double quotes.
1070: .IP \fBSMARTD_FULLMESSAGE\fP 4
1071: is set to the contents of the entire email warning message string from
1072: \fBsmartd\fP.
1073: This message string contains space and return characters and is NOT quoted. So to
1074: use $SMARTD_FULLMESSAGE in a bash script you should probably enclose it in
1075: double quotes.
1076: .IP \fBSMARTD_TFIRST\fP 4
1077: is a text string giving the time and date at which the first problem
1078: of this type was reported. This text string contains space characters
1079: and no newlines, and is NOT quoted. For example:
1080: .nf
1081: .fi
1082: Sun Feb 9 14:58:19 2003 CST
1083: .IP \fBSMARTD_TFIRSTEPOCH\fP 4
1084: is an integer, which is the unix epoch (number of seconds since Jan 1,
1085: 1970) for \fBSMARTD_TFIRST\fP.

1135: .TP
1136: .B \-f
1137: [ATA only] Check for \'failure\' of any Usage Attributes. If these
1138: Attributes are less than or equal to the threshold, it does NOT indicate
1139: imminent disk failure. It "indicates an advisory condition where the usage
1140: or age of the device has exceeded its intended design life period."
1141: [Please see the \fBsmartctl \-A\fP command-line option.]
1142: .TP

1159: .TP
1160: .B \-i ID
1161: [ATA only] Ignore device Attribute number \fBID\fP when checking for failure
1162: of Usage Attributes. \fBID\fP must be a decimal integer in the range
1163: from 1 to 255. This Directive modifies the behavior of the \'\-f\'
1164: Directive and has no effect without it.
1165:
1166: This is useful, for example, if you have a very old disk and don\'t
1167: want to keep getting messages about the hours-on-lifetime Attribute
1168: (usually Attribute 9) failing. This Directive may appear multiple
1169: times for a single device, if you want to ignore multiple Attributes.
1170: .TP
1171: .B \-I ID
1172: [ATA only] Ignore device Attribute \fBID\fP when tracking changes in the
1173: Attribute values. \fBID\fP must be a decimal integer in the range
1174: from 1 to 255. This Directive modifies the behavior of the \'\-p\',
1175: \'\-u\', and \'\-t\' tracking Directives and has no effect without one
1176: of them.
1177:
1178: This is useful, for example, if one of the device Attributes is the disk
1179: temperature (usually Attribute 194 or 231). It\'s annoying to get reports
1180: each time the temperature changes. This Directive may appear multiple
1181: times for a single device, if you want to ignore multiple Attributes.

1184: [ATA only] When tracking, report the \fIRaw\fP value of Attribute \fBID\fP
1185: along with its (normally reported) \fINormalized\fP value. \fBID\fP must
1186: be a decimal integer in the range from 1 to 255. This Directive modifies

1188: and has no effect without one of them. This Directive may be given
1189: multiple times.
1190:
1191: A common use of this Directive is to track the device Temperature
1192: (often ID=194 or 231).
1193:
1194: If the optional flag \'!\' is appended, a change of the Normalized
1195: value is considered critical. The report will be logged as LOG_CRIT
1196: and a warning email will be sent if \'-m\' is specified.
1197: .TP
1198: .B \-R ID[!]
1199: [ATA only] When tracking, report whenever the \fIRaw\fP value of Attribute
1200: \fBID\fP changes. (Normally \fBsmartd\fP only tracks/reports changes
1201: of the \fINormalized\fP Attribute values.) \fBID\fP must be a decimal
1202: integer in the range from 1 to 255. This Directive modifies the
1203: behavior of the \'\-p\', \'\-u\', and \'\-t\' tracking Directives and
1204: has no effect without one of them. This Directive may be given
1205: multiple times.
1206:
1207: If this Directive is given, it automatically implies the \'\-r\'
1208: Directive for the same Attribute, so that the Raw value of the
1209: Attribute is reported.
1210:
1211: A common use of this Directive is to track the device Temperature
1212: (often ID=194 or 231). It is also useful for understanding how
1213: different types of system behavior affects the values of certain
1214: Attributes.
1215:
1216: If the optional flag \'!\' is appended, a change of the Raw
1217: value is considered critical. The report will be logged as
1218: LOG_CRIT and a warning email will be sent if \'-m\' is specified.
1219: An example is \'-R 5!\' to warn when new sectors are reallocated.
1220: .TP
1221: .B \-C ID[+]
1222: [ATA only] Report if the current number of pending sectors is
1223: non-zero. Here \fBID\fP is the id number of the Attribute whose raw
1224: value is the Current Pending Sector count. The allowed range of
1225: \fBID\fP is 0 to 255 inclusive. To turn off this reporting, use
1226: ID\ =\ 0. If the \fB\-C ID\fP option is not given, then it defaults to
1227: \fB\-C 197\fP (since Attribute 197 is generally used to monitor
1228: pending sectors). If the name of this Attribute is changed by a
1229: \'\-v 197,FORMAT,NAME\' directive, the default is changed to
1230: \fB\-C 0\fP.
1231:
1232: If \'+\' is specified, a report is only printed if the number of sectors
1233: has increased between two check cycles. Some disks do not reset this
1234: attribute when a bad sector is reallocated.
1235: See also \'\-v 197,increasing\' below.
1236:
1237: The warning email counter is reset if the number of pending sectors
1238: dropped to 0. This typically happens when all pending sectors have
1239: been reallocated or could be read again.
1240:
1241: A pending sector is a disk sector (containing 512 bytes of your data)
1242: which the device would like to mark as ``bad" and reallocate.
1243: Typically this is because your computer tried to read that sector, and
1244: the read failed because the data on it has been corrupted and has
1245: inconsistent Error Checking and Correction (ECC) codes. This is
1246: important to know, because it means that there is some unreadable data
1247: on the disk. The problem of figuring out what file this data belongs
1248: to is operating system and file system specific. You can typically
1249: force the sector to reallocate by writing to it (translation: make the
1250: device substitute a spare good sector for the bad one) but at the
1251: price of losing the 512 bytes of data stored there.
1252: .TP
1253: .B \-U ID[+]
1254: [ATA only] Report if the number of offline uncorrectable sectors is
1255: non-zero. Here \fBID\fP is the id number of the Attribute whose raw
1256: value is the Offline Uncorrectable Sector count. The allowed range of
1257: \fBID\fP is 0 to 255 inclusive. To turn off this reporting, use
1258: ID\ =\ 0. If the \fB\-U ID\fP option is not given, then it defaults to
1259: \fB\-U 198\fP (since Attribute 198 is generally used to monitor
1260: offline uncorrectable sectors). If the name of this Attribute is changed
1261: by a \'\-v 198,FORMAT,NAME\' (except \'\-v 198,FORMAT,Offline_Scan_UNC_SectCt\'),
1262: directive, the default is changed to \fB\-U 0\fP.
1263:
1264: If \'+\' is specified, a report is only printed if the number of sectors
1265: has increased since the last check cycle. Some disks do not reset this
1266: attribute when a bad sector is reallocated.
1267: See also \'\-v 198,increasing\' below.
1268:
1269: The warning email counter is reset if the number of offline uncorrectable
1270: sectors dropped to 0. This typically happens when all offline uncorrectable
1271: sectors have been reallocated or could be read again.
1272:
1273: An offline uncorrectable sector is a disk sector which was not
1274: readable during an off\-line scan or a self\-test. This is important
1275: to know, because if you have data stored in this disk sector, and you
1276: need to read it, the read will fail. Please see the previous \'\-C\'
1277: option for more details.
1278: .TP
1279: .B \-W DIFF[,INFO[,CRIT]]
1280: Report if the current temperature had changed by at least \fBDIFF\fP
1281: degrees since last report, or if new min or max temperature is detected.
1282: Report or Warn if the temperature is greater or equal than one of
1283: \fBINFO\fP or \fBCRIT\fP degrees Celsius.
1284: If the limit \fBCRIT\fP is reached, a message with loglevel
1285: \fB\'LOG_CRIT\'\fP will be logged to syslog and a warning email
1286: will be send if '-m' is specified. If only the limit \fBINFO\fP is
1287: reached, a message with loglevel \fB\'LOG_INFO\'\fP will be logged.
1288:
1289: The warning email counter is reset if the temperature dropped below
1290: \fBINFO\fP or \fBCRIT\fP-5 if \fBINFO\fP is not specified.
1291:
1292: If this directive is used in conjunction with state persistence
1293: (\'\-s\' option), the min and max temperature values are preserved
1294: across boot cycles. The minimum temperature value is not updated
1295: during the first 30 minutes after startup.
1296:
1297: To disable any of the 3 reports, set the corresponding limit to 0.

1318: For ATA devices, smartd interprets Attribute 194 as Temperature Celsius
1319: by default. This can be changed to Attribute 9 or 220 by the drive
1320: database or by the \'-v\' directive, see below.
1321: .TP
1322: .B \-F TYPE
1323: [ATA only] Modifies the behavior of \fBsmartd\fP to compensate for
1324: some known and understood device firmware bug. The arguments to this
1325: Directive are exclusive, so that only the final Directive given is
1326: used. The valid values are:
1327:
1328: .I none
1329: \- Assume that the device firmware obeys the ATA specifications. This
1330: is the default, unless the device has presets for \'\-F\' in the
1331: device database.
1332:
1333: .I samsung
1334: \- In some Samsung disks (example: model SV4012H Firmware Version:
1335: RM100\-08) some of the two\- and four\-byte quantities in the SMART data
1336: structures are byte\-swapped (relative to the ATA specification).
1337: Enabling this option tells \fBsmartd\fP to evaluate these quantities
1338: in byte\-reversed order. Some signs that your disk needs this option
1339: are (1) no self\-test log printed, even though you have run self\-tests;
1340: (2) very large numbers of ATA errors reported in the ATA error log;
1341: (3) strange and impossible values for the ATA error log timestamps.
1342:
1343: .I samsung2
1344: \- In some Samsung disks the number of ATA errors reported is byte swapped.
1345: Enabling this option tells \fBsmartd\fP to evaluate this quantity in
1346: byte\-reversed order.
1347:
1348: .I samsung3
1349: \- Some Samsung disks (at least SP2514N with Firmware VF100\-37) report
1350: a self\-test still in progress with 0% remaining when the test was already
1351: completed. If this directive is specified, \fBsmartd\fP will not skip the
1352: next scheduled self\-test (see Directive \'\-s\' above) in this case.
1353:
1354: Note that an explicit \'\-F\' Directive will over\-ride any preset
1355: values for \'\-F\' (see the \'\-P\' option below).
1356:
1357:
1358: [Please see the \fBsmartctl \-F\fP command-line option.]
1359: .TP
1360: .B \-v ID,FORMAT[:BYTEORDER][,NAME]
1361: [ATA only] Sets a vendor\-specific raw value print FORMAT, an optional
1362: BYTEORDER and an optional NAME for Attribute ID.
1363: This directive may be used multiple times.
1364: Please see \fBsmartctl -v\fP command-line option for further details.
1365:
1366: The following arguments affect smartd warning output:
1367:
1368: .I 197,increasing
1369: \- Raw Attribute number 197 (Current Pending Sector Count) is not
1370: reset if uncorrectable sectors are reallocated. This sets \'-C 197+\'
1371: if no other \'-C\' directive is specified.
1372:
1373: .I 198,increasing
1374: \- Raw Attribute number 198 (Offline Uncorrectable Sector Count) is not
1375: reset if uncorrectable sector are reallocated. This sets \'-U 198+\'
1376: if no other \'-U\' directive is specified.
1377: .TP
1378: .B \-P TYPE
1379: [ATA only] Specifies whether \fBsmartd\fP should use any preset options
1380: that are available for this drive.
1381: The valid arguments to this Directive are:
1382:
1383: .I use
1384: \- use any presets that are available for this drive. This is the default.
1385:
1386: .I ignore
1387: \- do not use any presets for this drive.
1388:
1389: .I show
1390: \- show the presets listed for this drive in the database.
1391:
1392: .I showall
1393: \- show the presets that are available for all drives and then exit.
1394:
1395: [Please see the
1396: .B smartctl \-P
1397: command-line option.]
1398: .TP
1399: .B \-a
1400: Equivalent to turning on all of the following Directives:
1401: .B \'\-H\'
1402: to check the SMART health status,
1403: .B \'\-f\'
1404: to report failures of Usage (rather than Prefail) Attributes,
1405: .B \'\-t\'
1406: to track changes in both Prefailure and Usage Attributes,
1407: .B \'\-l\ error\'
1408: to report increases in the number of ATA errors,
1409: .B \'\-l\ selftest\'
1410: to report increases in the number of Self-Test Log errors,
1411: .B \'\-l\ selfteststs\'
1412: to report changes of Self-Test execution status,
1413: .B \'\-C 197\'
1414: to report nonzero values of the current pending sector count, and
1415: .B \'\-U 198\'
1416: to report nonzero values of the offline pending sector count.
1417:
1418: Note that \-a is the default for ATA devices. If none of these other
1419: Directives is given, then \-a is assumed.
1420: .TP
1421: .B #
1422: Comment: ignore the remainder of the line.
1423: .TP
1424: .B \e
1425: Continuation character: if this is the last non-white or non-comment
1426: character on a line, then the following line is a continuation of the current
1427: one.
1428: .PP
1429: If you are not sure which Directives to use, I suggest experimenting
1430: for a few minutes with
1431: .B smartctl
1432: to see what SMART functionality your disk(s) support(s). If you do
1433: not like voluminous syslog messages, a good choice of
1434: \fBsmartd\fP
1435: configuration file Directives might be:
1436: .nf
1437: .B \-H \-l\ selftest \-l\ error \-f.
1438: .fi
1439: If you want more frequent information, use:
1440: .B -a.
1441:
1442: .TP
1443: .B ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT DEVICESCAN
1444: If a non-comment entry in the configuration file is the text
1445: string \fBDEVICESCAN\fP in capital letters, then \fBsmartd\fP will
1446: ignore any remaining lines in the configuration file, and will scan
1447: for devices.
1448:
1449: Configuration entries for devices not found by the platform\-specific
1450: device scanning may precede the \fBDEVICESCAN\fP entry.
1451:
1452: If \fBDEVICESCAN\fP is not followed by any Directives, then smartd
1453: will scan for both ATA and SCSI devices, and will monitor all possible
1454: SMART properties of any devices that are found.
1455:
1456: \fBDEVICESCAN\fP may optionally be followed by any valid Directives,
1457: which will be applied to all devices that are found in the scan. For
1458: example
1459: .nf
1460: .B DEVICESCAN -m root@example.com
1461: .fi
1462: will scan for all devices, and then monitor them. It will send one
1463: email warning per device for any problems that are found.
1464: .nf
1465: .B DEVICESCAN -d ata -m root@example.com
1466: .fi
1467: will do the same, but restricts the scan to ATA devices only.
1468: .nf
1469: .B DEVICESCAN -H -d ata -m root@example.com
1470: .fi
1471: will do the same, but only monitors the SMART health status of the
1472: devices, (rather than the default \-a, which monitors all SMART
1473: properties).
1474:
1475: .TP
1476: .B EXAMPLES OF SHELL SCRIPTS FOR \'\-M exec\'
1477: These are two examples of shell scripts that can be used with the \'\-M
1478: exec PATH\' Directive described previously. The paths to these scripts
1479: and similar executables is the PATH argument to the \'\-M exec PATH\'
1480: Directive.
1481:
1482: Example 1: This script is for use with \'\-m ADDRESS -M exec PATH\'. It appends
1483: the output of
1484: .B smartctl -a
1485: to the output of the smartd email warning message and sends it to ADDRESS.
1486:
1487: .nf
1488: \fB
1489: #! /bin/bash
1490:
1491: # Save the email message (STDIN) to a file:
1492: cat > /root/msg
1493:
1494: # Append the output of smartctl -a to the message:
1495: /usr/local/sbin/smartctl -a -d $SMART_DEVICETYPE $SMARTD_DEVICE >> /root/msg
1496:
1497: # Now email the message to the user at address ADD:
1498: /bin/mail -s "$SMARTD_SUBJECT" $SMARTD_ADDRESS < /root/msg
1499: \fP
1500: .fi
1501:
1502: Example 2: This script is for use with \'\-m <nomailer> \-M exec
1503: PATH\'. It warns all users about a disk problem, waits 30 seconds, and
1504: then powers down the machine.
1505:
1506: .nf
1507: \fB
1508: #! /bin/bash
1509:
1510: # Warn all users of a problem
1511: wall \'Problem detected with disk: \' "$SMARTD_DEVICESTRING"
1512: wall \'Warning message from smartd is: \' "$SMARTD_MESSAGE"
1513: wall \'Shutting down machine in 30 seconds... \'
1514:
1515: # Wait half a minute
1516: sleep 30
1517:
1518: # Power down the machine
1519: /sbin/shutdown -hf now
1520: \fP
1521: .fi
1522:
1523: Some example scripts are distributed with the smartmontools package,
1524: in /usr/local/share/doc/smartmontools/examplescripts/.
1525:
1526: Please note that these scripts typically run as root, so any files
1527: that they read/write should not be writable by ordinary users or
1528: reside in directories like /tmp that are writable by ordinary users
1529: and may expose your system to symlink attacks.
1530:
1531: As previously described, if the scripts write to STDOUT or STDERR,
1532: this is interpreted as indicating that there was an internal error
1533: within the script, and a snippet of STDOUT/STDERR is logged to SYSLOG.
1534: The remainder is flushed.
