Hello,

I wonder if anyone has the local HDDTEMP script working on an Archlinux PC that could help me.

It works fine on my server (ubuntu), but I just get intermittent output of 1 disk (sda) and no temp reading at all from the Arch linux PC.

It seems to be:

if [ $? -eq 0 ] && [ `$nc -zv $hostname $port 2>&1 | awk '{print $5}'` = "open" ]

that causes the error and I am not knowledgeable enough to work out a solution.

nc localhost 7634 outputs... |/dev/sda|TOSHIBA THNSNH128GBST|30|C||/dev/sdb|ST500DM002-1BD142|32|C||/dev/sdc|Hitachi HDT725050VLA360|38|C|

Thank you, Fordy.

if [ $? -eq 0 ] && [ `$nc -zv $hostname $port 2>&1 | awk '{print $5}'` = "open" ] then echo '<<<hddtemp>>>' $nc $hostname $port echo fi
