[smartmontools-support] how does smartd send emails? (no /usr/bin/mail on my system)

[peter pilsl <pilsl@go...>]

I can specify -m pilsl@...  in smartd.conf to receive emails 
from smartd.

However : smartd seems to expect a programm /usr/bin/mail to deliver 
this emails, which is not present on my system.

Mar 29 12:04:18 phoenix smartd[20572]: Test of mail to 
pilsl@... produced unexpected output (20 bytes) to 
STDOUT/STDERR:  sh: mail: not found
Mar 29 12:04:18 phoenix smartd[20572]: Test of mail to 
pilsl@...: failed (32-bit/8-bit exit status: 32512/127)

I use sendmail als MTA which is listening on port25 or has 
/usr/sbin/sendmail . As I use sendmail 8.14, it didnt come with a 
wrapper called "mail" anymore.

Of course I could create a symlink  /usr/bin/mail to /usr/sbin/sendmail, 
but actually I dont like the idea. Other programms might use this more 
accessible wrapper too without me knowing.

Is there any way to tell smartmontools where to look for a mail-programm 
or even send mails via TCP to a listening smtp-server?
How do you other guys solve this problem? I dont think everyone has a 
/usr/bin/mail - programm lying around.

thnx,
peter

Re: [smartmontools-support] Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Bruce Allen <ballen@gr...>]

Simon, Keiji,

Here is a report from a Solaris smartmontools user having trouble seeing 
SATA disks on a SCSI backplane.

Cheers,
