SMART hard-disk monitoring

[Derek Olsen]

  Andy.
 I've attached the check_smart we use.  I think it's a barely modified 
version of the one that comes with the nagios plugins.       In the 
script we use the output of /sbin/sfdisk -s to find out which scsi disks 
are on the local box because we ran into problems using the output of 
scsiinfo.    So our sudoers file is configured to allow the nagios user 
to run /sbin/sfisk -s and /usr/sbin/smartctl.

  This works for us.  Hope it helps.
   Deet.
