scsi_mandat - check SCSI device support for mandatory commands
scsi_mandat [--help] [--log] [--quiet] [--verbose] DEVICE
This bash shell script calls several SCSI commands on the given DEVICE. These SCSI commands are considered mandatory (although that varies a little depending on which standard/draft the DEVICE complies with). The results of each test and a pass/fail count are output.
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
print out the usage message then exit.
the output to stderr (from each SCSI command executed) is appended to a file called 'scsi_mandat.err' in the current working directory.
the amount of output is reduced and typically only the pass/fail count is output.
increase level or verbosity.
The exit status of this script is the number of "bad" errors found. So an exit status of 0 means all mandatory SCSI commands worked as expected.
