Script to execute smartctl.

[LittleZee]

Hello Folks,

I am new in Linux and working as a Junior Admin.  One of the task I have is to runt SMART utility every night and mail the list of systems with and drives with errors only Admin team.

I will be running the following command on all 200 Systems for all hard drives and the output will go to a file.

If there is any other solution please help me out.

# smartctl -q errorsonly -H -A /dev/XXX >> StatusLog

The output in the file is also having all the name of systems and drive with no errors.

How can I extract the  SYSTEM NAME and DRIVE NAME with errors only and output to a different file ,, eg (Error_File) ???????????

FOR EXAMPLE ..... I ran the command on 3 system only but only NODE-1 is showing errors on both drives.

Hello.

Wouldn't it be easier to use 'smartd' instead and let it report to you?
