> At quick glance, I don't see a quick and easy way to test email
notifications.
1. '-M test' in smartd.conf enables test messages. Here a quick example
which does not touch smartd.conf and runs only one smartd check cycle in
debug mode:
# sed -n '/^DEVICESCAN/s,$, -M test,p' /etc/smartd.conf \
| /usr/sbin/smartd -c - -q onecheck
2. Or: run smartd's internal warning script directly. This does not
require root and does not access any device. Set SMARTD_ADDRESS from '-m
...' and SMARTD_MAILER from '-M exec ...'. Example:
$ SMARTD_ADDRESS='some.one@some.where' \
SMARTD_MAILER=/usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner \
/usr/share/smartd_warning.sh --dryrun
Remove --dryrun to actually exec .../smartd-runner.
@Christian E. - A possible enhancement for 10mail would be to fall back to
sendmail if mail is not available. Something like:
#!/bin/bash
mail=/usr/bin/mail
sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail
if [ -x $mail ]; then
echo "$SMARTD_FULLMESSAGE" | $mail -s "$SMARTD_SUBJECT" $SMARTD_ADDRESS
elif [ -x $sendmail ]; then
$sendmail $SMARTD_ADDRESS <<EOF
Subject: $SMARTD_SUBJECT
To: ${SMARTD_ADDRESS// /, }
$SMARTD_FULLMESSAGE
EOF
else
echo "Found neither $mail nor $sendmail"
exit 1
fi
