I am using awk & smartctl in a small shell script to print out HDD temps
in a purty format, 1 line per drive. As it happens, the output I want is
spread out over 4 lines of smartctl out, requiring (I *think*) 4 calls
to smartctl each piped to its own awk invocation to pull out the line I
want & print its info out. Is there some way to get awk to consider more
than 1 line at a time ? In my case my 4 lines are indeed sequential, &
it would be a bit more efficient if I could process all 4 lines once I
found the 1st one. This is definitely *not* critical, what I have now
works AOK, I was/am just curious if it could be optimized a bit. TIA &
have a good one.
