[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: smartmontools-5.33cvs20051115


The smartmontools package is now available in the Cygwin distribution.

Smartmontools contains utility programs (smartctl, smartd) to
control/monitor storage systems using the Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.) built into most modern ATA and SCSI disks. In many cases, these utilities will provide advanced
warning of disk degradation and failure.


Project home page is at http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

Smartctl is a command line utility designed to perform tasks such as
printing the SMART self-test and error logs, enabling and disabling
SMART automatic testing, and initiating device self-tests.

Smartd is a daemon that monitors the drives every 30 minutes
(configurable), logs SMART errors and changes of SMART Attributes via
the syslog interface.
Smartd can also be configured to schedule self-tests and send email
warnings or run other scripts if problems are detected.

On Cygwin, smartd can be run as a windows service via cygrunsrv.


This first version was built from CVS snapshot 2005-11-15. The build script in the Cygwin source package can be used to build both the Cygwin and the native Windows release of smartmontools.


Please address questions related to the Cygwin port to the Cygwin mailing list at <cygwin@cygwin.com>, and questions related to S.M.A.R.T. to the smartmontools mailing list at <smartmontools-support@sourceforge.net>.
