18 Yes, but when I ran 'smartctl -a /dev/sda' it tells me the command isn't
19 found. I did a search for this command and it was found in
20 /usr/share/bash-completion/ but if I run it (and it is executable to
21 owner (root)), using the full path to the command, it tells me the
22 command isn't found. I also tried creating a symlink to it in /usr/bin
23 and I get the message:
24 /usr/bin/smartctl: line 3: have: command not found.
