Bug Description
Package: smartmontools 5.38-3ubuntu3
Affected Ubuntu Versions: 10.04 (still in use there, supported until 4/17 as it's LTS)
Defect: looks like smartmontools is never running
Without the patch:
$ sudo service smartmontools status
* is not running
Notice the missing daemon name ("smartd"). This is because /etc/init.
With the patch:
$ sudo service smartmontools status
* smartd is running
Fixing patch attached.
I believe this has been fixed in smartmontools' 5.39 branch[1] and trunk[2]
