I'd found that *smartctl.exe* works perfectly when called from the current directory. For example: {{{ C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin> cd C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin> smartctl.exe -l selftest -a /dev/sda -d aacraid,0,0,0 ... }}} In this case it prints SMART Self-set log. All good. But! {{{ C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin> cd C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin>.\smartctl.exe -l selftest -a /dev/sda -d aacraid,0,0,0 }}} or {{{ C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin>""C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin\smartctl.exe"" -l selftest -a /dev/sda -d aacraid,0,0,0 }}} made me crazy %) by whipping out window telling ""**Control and Monitoring utility for SMART Disks has stopped to working**. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program"". {{{ C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin>""C:\Program Files\smartmontools\bin\smartctl.exe"" -V smartctl 7.3 2021-08-27 r5230 [x86_64-w64-mingw32-2008r2-sp1] (CircleCI) Copyright (C) 2002-21, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org smartctl comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
