Looking for a return value weather smartctl is running a (short) selftest or not
Hey guys, I'm kinda stuck here.. I'm trying to write a script, which should start a short selftest via smartctl, for example
Code:
smartctl -t short /dev/sda
and after the test is finished I want it to write the new smartvalues in a logfile.
well... Now I need a return value for wether the selftest is running or not. I want the script to sleep for a minute and then check if the selftest is still running, if it is, sleep for a minute and so on... But I just can't find a proper way to do this. I know smartctl gives return values for a few errors and stuff, but that's not what I need :/
I'm running a debian jessie, the script will, in the end, be running on a debian live (build with the debian live builder)
any help, information or a workaround would be highly appreciated.

While I am by habit comfortable with bash as a shell, from time to time, I find tiny reasons to believe it's a little dense. One of the things that proves it is: to date, I have not been able to get it to identify what WM it's running inside of or alongside of in an X11 kind of environment... (1 Reply)
