I am trying to automate the use of shred and putting the output into log files. Currently I am copying the serial number manually using hdparm -I /dev/sd? | grep 'Serial\ Number'I know that there is a way to have grep give me only the number and not the Serial Number text before it but I don't know how. Could someone how knows reg expressions help me?
Extract serial number from hdparm output
command line;grep
