Does anyone have perl script to run aaccli every hour to check for for
failures (drive/container/temperature/redundant power/etc)?  With the
previous utility dptutil for adaptec controllers it was easy with -Lall
to see an Optimal status for each drive and container when it was happy
which changed when it broke.  With aaccli its not clear to me how every
kind of failure would show up.
