Yep, and it's done. There is a patch under http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/mdadm/ (see 'patch' and the 'applied') that 1/ When mdadm --monitor first notices an array, it will check if it is degraded and will issue a "DegradedArray" event if it is. 2/ mdadm --monitor has a --oneshot option which causes it to check once and exit. This can be used in a cron script to generate DegradedArray events on a regular basis for any degraded arrays.
