Yes, but when I ran 'smartctl -a /dev/sda' it tells me the command isn't
found.  I did a search for this command and it was found in
/usr/share/bash-completion/ but if I run it (and it is executable to
owner (root)), using the full path to the command, it tells me the
command isn't found.  I also tried creating a symlink to it in /usr/bin
and I get the message:
/usr/bin/smartctl: line 3: have: command not found.

Colleen
