Hello,
Can you help me how can I run Hard Disk Sentinel on openSUSE 12.2-64bit version!
Here is the link for the program:
Hard Disk Sentinel - Free Linux version
Thx Hugo
DId you see the project is not exactly “active”? It’s supposed to work with openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3, which have passed their EOL ages ago. Last update on the site is from march 2012. Plus, openSUSE has more than enough means (read software) that would deliver the same output.
Ok, Thanks.
Please tell me few of those apps which can do the same or better?!
Thx H
Here’s what I did:
Downloaded the 64bit zipfile from the site
Unzipped it to some folder
Went into that folder, did
chmod 755 HDSentinel
than ran it
su -c HDSentinel
and got this output:
Hard Disk Sentinel for LINUX console 0.08 (c) 2008-2011 info@hdsentinel.com

Looks fine, exept for the temperatures, which is the same after installing “sensors” and running sensor-detect to enable the lm-sensors service. Might be my hardware though.
BTW, I had an extra look, since you seem to be used to the program and I couldn’t imagine such basic software wouldn’t work.
Thanks a Lot!
What is Code: 755 ?
(chmod 755 HDSentinel)
It didn’t work for me
says :
bash : HDSentinel : command not found
It’s not a “code”. It’s a command to change the permissions of HDSentinel. Once unzipped it has permissions
-rw-r--r-- 1 glosscomputer users 2470406 3 sep 2011 HDSentinel
the -rw- stuff represents the permissions. The first dash is for setting other stuff, it’s followed by three blocks of three bits. Where --x would be “1” (2^0), rw- would be “6” ( 2^2 + 2^1 + 0). r-- would be “4”. The “r” is for read, the “w” for write, the “x” for executable (file) or access (folder). So, chmod (changemode) 755 means rwx for the owner, r-x for the group, r-x for the rest of the world.
In short, what the command does is changing the permissions from non-executable to executable. :
-rwxr-xr-x 1 glosscomputer users 2470406 3 sep 2011 HDSentinel
I’m aware of the fact that this can still seem quite cryptic, but I hope you’ll get an idea about what it does.

Assuming you did the chmod command, and assuming you expanded the zip to
a random directory, you have to prepend the path.
But you can get that data from the hard disk, and more, with smartctl
and hdparm.

It works
i extracted the zip file (Hard Disk Sentinel 64-bit Linux console version - [b]executable, zip-compressed) using file-roller
right clicked and went to properties and then ==>Permission==Marked it executable and then ran the following commands
dartmouth@linux-8zs1:~/Downloads> sudo ./HDSentinel -solid
root's password:
/dev/sda 42 100 1582 Hitachi_HDS721050DLE630 MSK423Y224561G 476940

@OP: this should work:
mkdir ~/HDSentinel
cd ~/HDSentinel
wget http://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin/hdsentinel_008_x64.zip
unzip hdsentinel_008_x64.zip
chmod 755 HDSentinel
su -c 'cp HDSentinel /usr/bin'
cd
Now you just have to do this:
sudo HDSentinel
followed by whatever option you want it to use. You don’t have to enter the HDSentinel folder, just run the command from a terminal window.
Ok, Thanks. It/s working now, everything is all right!
Maybe my problem was I did not extract the zip file with unzip from terminal window, I have used Krusader to extract…
Thx a lot for your answers!
have a nice day everyone!

I was surprised that the executable produced a report with very high level of details like sector count etc… And it’s size is a few kbs 
No. Krusader should have done the trick. You probably did not mark the file as a “executable” or did not set “execute” permissions properly

I think that the basic data extraction is very simple, they might even
be calling hdparm and smartctl for it. It could already be somewhere
under /proc or /sys, if we knew where. Then it is just a formatting job.
