The daily script checks your raid's raidframe status.

        for dev in `iostat -x | awk '/^raid/ { print $1 }'`; do
                raidctl -s $dev | awk '/^.*: failed$/ {print $0}' > $TMP
                if [ -s $TMP ]; then
                        echo "$dev:" >> $TMP2
                        cat $TMP >> $TMP2
                fi
                rm -f $TMP
        done
        if [ -s $TMP2 ]; then
                echo "failed RAIDframe component(s):"
                        cat $TMP2
        fi

I use hobbit for monitoring my servers at work, and I've written
a raidframe check that reports to hobbit rather than relying on
the nightly notifications.
