Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: smartmontools
According to the man page of smard.conf there is a special argument
<nomailer> for the -m switch, which when used with the smart-notifier
package should avoid sending an email when smartd warns the user of some
occurrence.
However, when changing the argument for -m from the default "root" to
"<nomailer>" and adding "-M test" the execution of
/etc/init.d/smartmontools apparently freezes and can only be resumed by
pressing "ctrl+d" once for each monitored device. The expected result
would have been the correct processing of the <nomailer> option. This is
useful for testing the correct operation of smart-notifier without
sending any email.
The complete offending line in smard.conf is:
DEVICESCAN -m <nomailer> -M test -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner
