The box below displays at the end of a smartmontools install. It looks like a leftover from Redhat, and doesn't seem relevant at all on Gentoo (Right?). Reproducible: Always #################################################################### # # PLEASE READ THIS BOX! # # To manually start the smartd daemon, run: # /toss-it-away/smartd start # # To automatically start smartd on bootup, run: # /sbin/chkconfig --add smartd # # smartd can now use a configuration file /etc/smartd.conf. Do: # man smartd # to learn about it. A sample configuration file can be found in: # /usr/share/doc/smartmontools-5.39.1 # ####################################################################
it isnt shown in pkg_{pre,post}inst, nor is it done via an elog/einfo/standard Gentoo line. the output is coming from smartmontools itself and i dont see much value in silencing it unless there is a simple FOO=shutit param we can pass to make. and i doubt there is.
CHANGELOG says: smartmontools 5.40 2010-10-16 [...] [CF] Makefile.am: Remove install message about smartd startup. It might be misleading because it is not correct for all platforms.
