Could you extend the script to do the acual SMART check before showing the result, so we can have it all in one scheduled task?

Should be enough if only available with the --email parameter, since the extended scan can take up to several hours.

Thanks a bunch for your work.

I could, But what is wrong with scheduling your SMART test via Storage Manager? At least that way if a SMART test gets stuck at 90% (like they sometimes do) you have a visual indication in Storage Manager that the test has got stuck.

An extended SMART test can take 10 or more hours. If I add an option to run a SMART test it would be a quick test for all HDDs.

Well, actually just to keep the task scheduler list tidy ... It's currently about 20 items for me ... with snapshots and stuff.
But I understand the issue... I just recently saw a Quick test being stuck at 90% ... it finished eventually, but I'm not sure it was clean.

I've got 50 scheduled tasks on my DS1821+ but only 20 of them are enabled. For Quick SMART tests I have All Drives selected so it only has 1 scheduled task.

The shared folder snapshot schedules are annoying because there's 1 for each shared folder - and I have 32 shared folders, though I only have snapshots enabled for 8 of them.
