Public bug reported:
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release: 18.04
apt-cache policy smartmontools
smartmontools:
Installed: 6.5+svn4324-1
Candidate: 6.5+svn4324-1
Version table:
*** 6.5+svn4324-1 500

Expected behavior:
smartd sends a test email on boot.
What happens:
No mail is recieved. sSMTP logs "Unable to locate Mail server" and "cannot open
mailserver:25". I'm using the same smartd.conf and my script smartd calls that
I used on 14.04, which worked flawlessly.
Work around:
I had my script sleep 5 seconds before sending the mail. This worked fine
leading me to believe smartd is calling my script before networking is up. But
this is not an elegant solution. So I copied /lib/systemd/system/smartd.service
to /etc/systemd/system/smartd.service and add the line
"After=network-online.target"This worked fine. So the full smartd.sevice unit
is:
[Unit]
Description=Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology (SMART) Daemon
Documentation=man:smartd(8) man:smartd.conf(5)
After=network-online.target
[Service]
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/smartmontools
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/smartd -n $smartd_opts
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
StandardOutput=syslog
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
I haven't got any other machines to test this on. So I hope the report
will help some one else
