Nc localhost 7634

Support Network
1

Hi,
the command nc localhost 7634 in the terminal, gives me, as output, only the system disk. Usually it gave me all the disks i have.
Has anybody an idea on how to solve it?
I use Manjaro LXQt last update, kernel is 6.6.47-1 and the package gnu-netcat.

Ref: Hddtemp - ArchWiki (part 3 Daemon).

Are the following post related to this problem?

From the page:

The default Hddtemp daemon only monitors /dev/sda. If you have multiple disks, you need to override the default configuration to monitor them.

Have you done the override part or are you requesting help with this?

Hi,
i’m not asking for help about the override procedure. I have never performed it (unless the system did that itself during the various updates), since i installed Manjaro years ago and the nc localhost 7634 always worked, until days/weeks ago.
I always got the output similar to the following example:

|/dev/sda|ST3500413AS|32|C||/dev/sdb|ST2000DM001-1CH164|36|C|

but now i only get the system disk:

|/dev/sda|ST3500413AS|32|C|

I use the nc localhost 7834 for Conky, to get the disks’s names, but i already solved it using lsblk.
You asked me if i performed the override procedure but i don’t need it cause the nc localhost 7834 always worked. So my question is: did anything change in the last weeks/months? If yes what, when and where? If not is that a bug?
Thanks.

Taking a quick look, I see they use nc in the unofficial out of date Conky Arch wiki.

To me, that’s pretty terrible using netcat to parse binary network data for information.

I don’t know anything about Conky, but I’m sure you could just plug in one of the many other tools, that always get your drive temps reliably. You probably already have sensors and smartctl.

Ohhh thanks for the answer, i didn’t know that. It seems You have time to lose to give that answer. Thanks for the effort.

Ok, i solved the problem.
For some reasons hddtemp.service lost the disks info in the ExecStart= line.
I just edit that line as described in the following link: hddtemp config issue
Now nc localhost 7634 and hddtemp started work again.
