   1 smartmontools for Debian
   2 ------------------------
   3
   4 To start smartd automatically on system startup set:
   5  start_smartd=yes
   6 in /etc/default/smartmontools. If you only want to enable S.M.A.R.T. for a
   7 device without running the daemon use the enable_smart variable.
   8
   9 Don't use enable_smart for any disk monitored by smartd, this is likely to
  10 cause problems, especially for SATA (see e.g.
  11 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=365027).
  12
  13 Package Maintainers and system administrators can put scripts to be run
  14 when smartd detects an error into /etc/smartmontools/run.d. These
  15 scripts will be run by smartd-runner using run-parts(8). The script will
  16 receive the filename of the file containing the errormessage as first
  17 parameter. See /etc/smartmontools/run.d/10mail for an example.

  19 Please read the file WARNINGS in this directory.
