Hello all,

I am newbie to smarttools.
I configured smartd.conf like this:

/dev/sda1 -d megaraid,0 -H -C 0 -U 0 -m [email protected]

and services smartd is running.
Do I need to setup cron job to run or it will run by itself? If it'll run itself by default? How often? 

and I would like to recieve the mail only when there is warning or failure on the drive. Is it possible and how to do?



Thanks,

Peter
