NAME
scsi_mandat - check SCSI device support for mandatory commands SYNOPSIS
scsi_mandat [--help] [--log] [--quiet] [--verbose] DEVICE DESCRIPTION
This Bourne shell script calls several SCSI commands on the given DEVICE. These SCSI commands are considered mandatory (although that varies a little depending on which standard/draft the DEVICE complies with). The results of each test and a pass/fail count are output. OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well. -h, --help print out the usage message then exit. -L, --log the output to stderr (from each SCSI command executed) is appended to a file called 'scsi_mandat.err' in the current working direc- tory. -q, --quiet the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail count is output. -v, --verbose increase level or verbosity. EXIT STATUS
The exit status of this script is the number of "bad" errors found. So an exit status of 0 means all mandatory SCSI commands worked as expected. AUTHORS

NAME
scsi_ready - do SCSI TEST UNIT READY on devices SYNOPSIS
scsi_ready [--brief] [--help] [--verbose] DEVICE [DEVICE]* DESCRIPTION
This bash shell script calls the sg_turs utility on each given DEVICE. This will send a SCSI TEST UNIT READY command to each DEVICE. Disks, tape drives and DVD/BD players amongst others may respond to this SCSI command. OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well. -b, --brief for each DEVICE given output a line containing either ' ready' or ' device not ready'. If DEVICE is not found or there is another serious error then an error message will appear instead. -h, --help print out the usage message then exit. -v, --verbose increase level or verbosity. EXIT STATUS
The exit status of this script is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise the exit status is that of the last sg_turs utility called. See the sg3_utils(8) man page. AUTHORS
