This app is different from others in that it only reports the values;
it is up to the user / script / etc. to provide analysis. In the
serverfault example, spin-up time is attribute ID 3. One of my drives
shows:

$ smart -t da0 | grep "208 3"
208 3 39 0 100 100 1029

smartctl shows it as follows

$ smartctl -A /dev/da0
...
  3 Spin_Up_Time            0x0027   100   100   001    Pre-fail
Always       -       1029

It would be up to the user or script to decide at what point this
might indicate an imminent failure.
