dual output (xml + html)

I recently found myself running HDSentinel twice each time - for xml and html output.

Code: Select all

./HDSentinel -xml -r report.xml
./HDSentinel -html -r report.html
I need xml to parse it, as a periodic check.
But I also do html because, if there's something wrong, it usually makes sense to look into it "manually" (and xml isn't very human-readable).
It would be great if there would be an option to export both at the same time.
Especially, provided that HDSentinel takes a considerable amount of time to process all disks on systems with many (e.g. 90) disks.

Maybe something like

Code: Select all

./HDSentinel -xml report.xml -html report.html
would be possible?

PS: Hard Disk Sentinel 0.20b-x64

Thanks for the tip, yes, it may save time to create both reports, I'll check and adjust in a later version.

Maybe if possible, can you please send some report(s) (XML and HTML) to info (at) hdsentinel (dot) com address?
While tested with numerous drives, rare to see Linux reports with 90 disks :o Thanks ;)

Thanks for the reports :)
These always help researching and further development.
