daemonfowl, just so you know:

sysutils/smartmontools includes a daemon, smartd, which can be configured to report drive errors or sensor results (such as temperature problems), and can also be used to run these "offline" self tests to a schedule you set. I run media (long) tests once per week on all drives, and daily electronics (short) tests.
Code:
