Hello list members,

This brings me to my question. Does anyone know of a way to get the
system to notify me of any changes to the DMA status of the drives? On
looking back in the syslog, I see this entry:

Sep 24 17:38:16 miami vmunix: hdd: DMA disabled

However, I am wondering if anyone knows of something to monitor for
those sorts of changes and notify the user. Something like a console
warning for programs that try to access the device, or a pop up window
if the user is logged in to an X session. I can probably code something
up, but I also don't want to reinvent the wheel.

Would "logcheck" do what you want?


Funny that you mention that. I already use logcheck on all of my
machines. However, when there is lots of noise in the log file, I tend
to miss something like that since it is only one line.

Regards,
