Someone in the forums posted this. I thought it was appropriate to include here for others. The package 'smartmontools' (http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/) is already present and setup on my system but wasn't running. smartmontools is a free software package that can monitor S.M.A.R.T. attributes and run hard drive self-tests. Basically, S.M.A.R.T. may give you enough of a warning that you can safely backup all your data before your hard drive dies. Obviously, nothing replaces regular backups, but it's absolutely better than knowing nothing!
First, Sendmail is off by default with Amahi installed. To enable it, do the following as '''root''' user:
{{Code|service sendmail start
chkconfig sendmail on}}
If you prefer to have alerts sent to an email address outside your HDA, try one of the following tutorials:
* [[Enable_Outgoing_Emails|Enable Outgoing Emails]]
* [[Outgoing_mail_via_gmail|Outgoing Mail via Gmail]]
To restart after a reboot:
{{Code|chkconfig smartd on}}
