Dear all,<br><br>I'm trying to find a way to automate checkdisk every 1 month on a weekend.<br>in other words i want checkdisk to run every saturday morning.<br><br>i can of course change the default mount/count though that wont let me control WHEN it will happen.<br><br>so i need your expert opinion with the following if possible: <br><br>1. reboot into single user mode<br>2. start checkdisk for all disks<br>3. once done, reboot into runlevel 3<br><br>i've did a certain script that force checkdisk at night if there's a bad sector using the badblocks command though that's not enough.<br><br><br><br>PS: i was thinking of something of this sort:<br><br>1 4 * sat /bin/touch /forcefsck;reboot<br>1 1 * sun rm /forcefsck<br><br>Would the above work? for all disks?<br><br><br> </body>
