Bug#541192: smartmontools: does not send mail
DEVICESCAN -a -n standby -s (S/../.././00|L/../../6/07) -m root -M test -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner In the non-working machine, the daemon log says that smartmontoools succesfully sent the test mails, but in fact nothing was sent. Curiously, if I just call smartd -d using the above line in /etc/smartd.conf, it reports that everything has gone well, while this one fails with explanation: # echo /dev/sda -m root -M test | smartd -c - -q onecheck smartd version 5.38 [i686-pc-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Opened configuration file stdin Drive: /dev/sda, implied '-a' Directive on line 1 of file stdin Configuration file stdin parsed.

Adding to monitor list. Monitoring 0 ATA and 1 SCSI devices Executing test of mail to root ... Test of mail to root produced unexpected output (28 bytes) to STDOUT/STDERR: sh: mail: command not found Test of mail to root: failed (32-bit/8-bit exit status: 32512/127) Started with '-q onecheck' option. All devices sucessfully checked once. smartd is exiting (exit status 0) So the problem is that smartd wants a 'mail' program in the path. We have two problems here: 1) smartd problem: if a 'mail' program is not found, smartd does not signal any error with the above DEVICESCAN line 2) packaging problem: smartd requires a 'mail' program. I have one in my main box, which points to /usr/bin/bsd-mailx through /etc/alternatives. However, I have no such link in the other box, even though the bsd-mailx package is installed, same version. -- Francesco Potortì (ricercatore)Voice: +39 050 315 3058 (op.2111) ISTI - Area della ricerca CNR Fax: +39 050 315 2040 via G.

Bug#541192: smartmontools: does not send mail
Package: smartmontools Version: 5.38-3 Severity: normal smartmontools does not send mail to root even if it believes it does so. I have two boxes, with the same version of smartmontools and the same configure file (but different disk arrangements). In one everything works as expected, while in the other no mail is sent. Here is the relevant config line: DEVICESCAN -a -n standby -s (S/../.././00|L/../../6/07) -m root -M test -M exec /usr/share/smartmontools/smartd-runner In the non-working machine, the daemon log says that smartmontoools sucefully sent the test mails, but in fact nothing was sent. If I try to send mail to root from the command line, both with mailx and sendmail, I get the mail, and the operation is logged at /var/log/exim4/mainlog. However, nothing is logged after smartd is restarted or reloaded. How can I diagnose this? Apparently smartd does something wrong when sending mail to root, but I don't know why, since it works on the other machine with the same configuration. -- Package-specific info: Ouput of /usr/share/bug/smartmontools: # CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL is not set -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages smartmontools depends on: ii debianutils 3.2Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.9-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.0-5 GCC support library ii libstdc++64.4.0-5The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages smartmontools recommends: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20081101cvs-2 A simple mail user agent ii mailx 1:20081101-2 Transitional package for mailx ren smartmontools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
