## VERSION: 3
##
## Script has been tested in Ubuntu 13.04 and Zorin 7 Core, in both 32 & 64 bit versions - gnome-teminal is the terminal emulator in the Gnome DE (Desktop Environment).
## Some Ubuntu based distros may use a different DE, but may still include Gnome functionality, Zorin 7 CORE is an exmaple of this.
## This bash script is very basic. It is for folks who are not familiar with scripting and/or are new to Linux.
## If you know your way around a script, you probably do not need it and can get this done on your own.
## If you know enough to have a terminal emulator of preference, this will be baby steps to you.
## This is aimed at folks who don't spend a lot of time outside of the GUIs.
## To create the terminal profile HoldOpen needed to hold open the window after HDSentinel completes, please see the readme file.

## change to folder where HDSentinel is located
cd ~/HDSentinel

## Get date/time, determine format, and save as variable "DATE"
DATE=`date '+-%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M'`

## Open gnome-terminal using the profile "HoldOpen", execute HDSentinel, generate and save HDSentinel report with creation "DATE" in the filename.
# gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=HoldOpen -e "sudo ./HDSentinel -html -r report-$DATE"

## Open xfce4-terminal using do not close window (exec bash), execute HDSentinel, generate and save HDSentinel report with creation "DATE" in the filename.
xfce4-terminal -e "bash -c 'sudo ./HDSentinel -html -r report-$DATE ; exec bash'"

## Script has been tested in Debian 10 Buster, in both 64 bit versions - xfce4-terminal is the terminal emulator in the Cinnamon DE (Desktop Environment).
