Click the link above to open the script in Script Editor, save, and enter the following line into your crontab:
osascript [path/to/file]
where path/to/file is, obviously, the POSIX path to the Applescript.
One mistake--make sure you place the POSIX path to the script in quotation marks: osascript '/path/to/file'. Sorry about that

[Corrected the script to ask Finder to display the dialog if there is an error--osascript can't display dialogs directly. Rob, if you want, delete the previous two comments and move this up. Sorry about that.]
I just made a geektool entry of 'diskutil info disk0 | grep Verified > /dev/null'
Then I set the default icons and turned on icon display. If disk status is 'Verified' then I get a green icon, if it's not I get red.
I edited the script as I wanted to have a DAILY HARD DRIVE VERIFIED STATUS message window displayed, not just when the 'Drive Failed'.

The Moron Test Online
Question: Is the SMART status verified a) when the diskutil utility is run, b) only at boot-up, or c) once every xx hrs?
Does anybody know the answer?
For some reason I have it in my head that the SMART status is checked maybe only at boot-up, status is stored somewhere, and then diskutil simply retrieves the status from that 'somewhere'.
Am I wrong?

This command makes a horrible drive parking noise on an intel MBP running 10.5.6. Anyone else experience this or know another method, or the cause of this noise?
