Summertime is here
Now the summer is here for real. It’s almost like Asia back home now, not that damp though. Pretty much like Hoi An. Hue was much drier and Kuala Lumpur was very damp. Almost got 34 degrees today and I am waiting for some thunder and rain. Got around to cut the grass today and realized that the guy at Electrolux that has designed my lawn mover has probably never owned a house. And is probably about 150cm tall. I got a collector to gather all the leftover grass which is so badly designed that you cant back up your lawn mover without holding the collector or else it will end up in the cutting knives. Way to go! And I guess everyone that has a Briggs&Stratton knows how ‘reliable’ something constructed in the UK is. Should get me a Honda based one instead. It will probably last forever. At least I got around to graphing the disk temperatures in my file server using smartctl. I got snmpd run the following script, and yes it is ugly as hell since it does not tell you the name of the disk. Doesn’t really matter for me, since I already know in the cacti snmp template.
#!/bin/sh
for i in `ls /dev/sd[a-e] `
do
smartctl --all $i |grep Temp | cut -c88-90|tail -1
done
