RFC on smartutils port...

[David Snyder <dasnyderx_(_at_)_yahoo_(_dot_)_com>]

To all and sundry,

Came across this utility in the 'Linux Journal':

http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/

A write up of the tool is at:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6983

It looked pretty useful (especially since a lot of us run our systems 
24/7), and I didn't see anything in the port tree or on this mailing 
list for this,  but I thought I'd ask.  The closest thing that I've 
found is the symon utility (sysutils/symon).  It has harddrive 
monitoring capabilities, but I think this is just for I/O usage on the 
harddrive.  There's also sensorsd.  But all's that I can see, from the 
rather limited documentation, is that this is just for temp, rotation, 
and the like.  While this may be a bit out of my depth, I think it'd be 
useful to the OBSD community.
