Starting up Drobom

[fra...@email.com]

Hi there,

How do I know which folder drobom utils is in please?

Please could someone let me know how to add a command to start up drobom utils on every boot?

My Drobo is out of sight, such that if one disk fails I on't see, etc.

I am currently using Linux Mint 15.

Many thanks for any help/tips or tricks, as having moved to Linux I am over the moon!

Kind regards,

Frazer

I would like to do something similar. I am thinking about running drobom status or info on login, maybe adding a script to init.d or something. Have you come up with a nice solution?

Not had the time as yet, but would still be most interested.

Hey I got something nice working. I am using Ubuntu so your mileage may vary.

When I ssh to the machine I am always greeted with some system information. This is called the "message of the day" (MOTD)

I was able to add my own stuff to this message by creating a script called 'drobo-status' in '/etc/update-motd.d'.

The script was simple enough 

#!/bin/sh

status=$(sudo drobom status)

echo
echo "Drobo Status: ${status}"
echo

Thats all she wrote. Now when I login in via ssh, the Drobo status is included in the Message of the Day.

Hopefully you can use this to do what you want.
Good Luck.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks Daniel, that's very kind of you.

I'm a bit of a newbie here!

I use Ubuntu, and don't SSH on to it, so I don't get a message...

Is there anything that you know?

Kind regards,

Frazer.
