I suspect you have to run smartctl to query<br>
the test's progress e.g. something like this:<br>
while true ; do<br>
smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep -q 'Self-test routing in
progress'<br>
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then<br>
echo test finished<br>
break<br>
fi<br>

<div>watch -n5 "smartctl -a /dev/sda | grep -q 'Self-test
