So has anyone figured out a good way to get the SMART notifications out
of hard drives? The SMART reports are an early warning system where the
drive controller can notify the host that a drive is getting ready to
fail. As far as I know OSX keeps this info to itself. You can inspect
the current state using Disk Utility where it will say "S.M.A.R.T Status
Verified" but nothing will prompt you when that happens to change to
"Failing". You can also get it from the terminal by typing
diskutil info disk0 | grep SMART
I played with
http://www.corecode.at/smartreporter/
but I didn't find it very accessible, but that was the 2.7.x version and
there is a non-free 3.x version now.

To Mike and anyone else who remembers that I had a problem with one of my
minis, I now know what it is. I took it into the Apple store today in the hard
drive has failed. So I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the problem,
but I wouldn't have been able to do that. It took it about three weeks to
actually fail. The guy at the store says sometimes that happens. I'm just very
fortunate that it is still under warrantee, because that is and expense I can't
afford right now.
Anyway thank you to those who try to assist me during my many questions.
