1.5 Invoking & Command-Line Options

SMARTMon-UX may be invoked as follows:

smartmon-ux

smartmon-ux [options] [device_list]

smartmon-ux -h

(If you are on an Apple, you must either run from root or invoke the software with sudo, as in sudo ./smartmon-ux

[options] [device_list] )

If you launch smartmon-ux without any options, the program will discover and report all devices, enable S.M.A.R.T. on

all drives that support this feature, set the polling interval to 10 minutes, and run in the background. Status messages

be recorded in the system log file, unless overridden by using the -L option as described below. All command details

are below, listed in alphabetical order.

With only a few exceptions, all operating systems support all of these commands. The most notable exception is that

Windows platforms do not support the -O command, and that the -16 or -12 command may require a service

pack, kernel patch, or update.
