Yes, I know. You had the good idea of simply putting the script into a |
26 |
loop, and I actually followed your advice by now. When I posted my first |
27 |
script in response to yours, I just wanted to show how I got the |
28 |
relevant information in a more convenient format, using hdparm and |
29 |
hddtemp, than using the direct output of smartctl. Just in case someone |
30 |
else also likes this. Of yourse the outer loop was missing, but I did |
31 |
not bother to add this trivial addition just for the posting here. It's |
32 |
just the script I was already using in cron. And later in the posting I |
33 |
mentioned that the script itself should be run in a loop instead of |
34 |
cron, also because I could decrease the update interval. |

Sorry, I probably should have made clear that the original question was |
37 |
sort of solved. |

I'm sorry about this, I did not mean to annoy anyone. But I still do not |
44 |
really seewhat the problem is. You had the idea to do this without cron, |
45 |
and so I did. Well, I forgot a 'thank you' for the loop idea, this is |
46 |
true. Sorry again. Your ideas were appreciated as always. |
