Hi Stephen,

I know that in the past you've shared some of your useful scripts and
wondered if you had anything to share which would help with automating the
smartctl reporting.

I've been running it manually every few weeks (except when I forget) and
I've caught a couple of failing drives with it - and missed one.

The bit I'm most unsure of is how to automatically interpret the results
and convert them to a warning, particularly as some of my drives report
some strange numbers in some of the checks, which I think can probably be
ignored.

I generally just go by whether the short test completes successfully but I
think I should be checking whether some of the failure counts are going up?

Thanks
