Smartmontools + Blat

You can use Smartmontools to monitor your hard drive's SMART status and it will also help to predict disk failures. I like to use Blat for sending any error messages to my email. Blat Error Codes http://www.blat.net/examples/

NOTE:There is currently no way besides checking the size of the files, to see via WPKG if smartmontools is istalled or not. I know it will be coming soon, but I don't know when.

Download smartmontools from, just select the newest version: http://sourceforge.net/projects/smartmontools/files/ Save smartmontools into %SOFTWARE%\smartmontools\

Download blat from, just select the newest version: http://sourceforge.net/projects/blat/files/ Save blat into %SOFTWARE%\smartmontools\


Edit blat.reg and change the SMTP server, and the Sender values.

blat.reg contents (Working for both Windows 32 bit and Windows 64 bit editions:(Save blat.reg into %SOFTWARE%\smartmontools\) 


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Public Domain\Blat]
"SMTP server"="Default.smtp.server.address"
"Sender"="Default.Sender@email.address"
"SMTP Port"="25"
"Login"=""
"Pwd"=""
"Try"="5"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Public Domain\Blat]
"SMTP server"="Default.smtp.server.address"
"Sender"="Default.Sender@email.address"
"SMTP Port"="25"
"Login"=""
"Pwd"=""
"Try"="5"

Edit smartd.conf and find the line containing DEVICESCAN then modify it to look similar to the following, also change to fit your email address in the configuration file.

# Sample configuration file for smartd.  See man smartd.conf.

Smartmontools

You can use Smartmontools to monitor your hard drive SMART status and predict disk failures. I use Blat for sending error messages to my email. Edit smartd.conf and set correct size of it in packages.xml.
