Generate HDD reports?

Sent it to Eton in PM but might as well post it here as well, for Sparc - go for something like this instead: for i in a b c d e f h i j k; do smartctl -a /dev/hd${i} | egrep -i "Device Model|Serial Number|Reallocated_sec|ATA Er|offline_uncorrect|current_pending_sector|Power_on";done

Thanks! That one works. It's only missing the table headline row (ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE).

And yes the problem was that step values used in Danthem's first script are not supported until Bash version 4. But it might be doable with seq and awk etc.
