DESCRIPTION

       GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from
       smartmontools), which is a tool for querying and controlling SMART
       (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data on modern
       hard disk drives. It allows you to inspect the drive's SMART data to
       determine its health, as well as run various tests on it.

       This manual page documents briefly the gsmartcontrol and
       gsmartcontrol-root commands.

       gsmartcontrol-root command launches gsmartcontrol with administrative
       privileges. The desktop argument specifies which desktop is currently
       running, for automatic selection of native su mechanism. Valid values
       for desktop are auto, kde, gnome, other.
