 Hi,

 This is a request for assisting configuration, probably NOT a bug in the
 system.

 I'm trying to run smartmontools as a daemon on OS X 10.7.4.

 First, executing from terminal works fine:
 {{{
 smartctl -t short /dev/disk0
 }}}


 However, I encountered problem while setting up smartd (mail and ssmtp
 works fine from the terminal):
 {{{
 sudo nano /opt/local/etc/smartd.conf
 /dev/disk0 -H -l error -l selftest -f -s
 (S/../.././09|C/../.././21|L/../../6/04) -m mymail at gmail.com
 }}}

 Setting Disabled=false:
 {{{
 sudo nano
 /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.smartd/org.macports.smartd.plist
 ...
 <key>Disabled</key><false/>
 ...
 }}}

 adding to launchd:
 {{{
 sudo launchctl load -w
 /opt/local/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.smartd/org.macports.smartd.plist
 }}}

 On reboot, smartd is running.

 However,
 {{{
 sudo smartctl -l selftest /dev/disk0
 }}}
 shows no new records of self-test being carried out.

 And:
 {{{
 cat /var/log/system.log:
 May 26 21:11:55 mymac smartd[174]: Device: /dev/disk0, execute Conveyance
 Self-Test failed.
 }}}

 Please advise, thanks.
