FreeNAS Bash script to start a ZFS scrub on each pool (scrub.sh)

This script will start a scrub on each ZFS pool (one at a time) and will send an e-mail or display the result when everyting is completed. I wrote this script to launch each scrub one after the other and a summary by e-mail that can tell me how much time it took to each ZFS scrub.

Put this script on your FreeNAS box using the File Manager or directly at the shell by copy-pasting it. I put it in “/mnt/usb-data/bin/scrub.sh”.

To make it run automatically, go into System –> Advanced –> Cron and add it as Monthly cron job.

NOTE: Don’t forget to change the e-mail addresses in the script!
