[smartmontools-support] smartd wakes powered off drives

So just add:

DEFAULT -n standby,336,q

to the config file to only check drives in standby once a week and to do so without logging a message saying the check had been skipped?

Is that right?  Shouldn't a default like that be in the config file as shipped?

Thank you lots
D.

-n standby

I think.
