       GSmartControl - Hard disk drive and SSD health inspection tool

SYNOPSIS
       gsmartcontrol [OPTIONS]

       gsmartcontrol-root [--desktop=<desktop>]	[OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       GSmartControl  is  a graphical user interface for smartctl (from	smart-
       montools), which	is a tool for querying and  controlling	 SMART	(Self-
       Monitoring,  Analysis,  and  Reporting  Technology) data	on modern hard
       disk and	solid-state 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  gsmartcon-
       trol-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.
