It runs as a daemon that tracks operating changes on your disk(s) and periodically runs a test on them. By default it reports changes in the overnight logwatch report and I also have a weekly cron job set up to do a more rigorous report. AFAIK SMART is part of every distro (I use Fedora), so installation is straight forward. Almost all disks have been SMART compliant for several years now. Martin
