I have been trying to find a similar solution for aac controllers that 
will display the status of the volumes that the controller has 
configured (E.g. Optimal, Degraded, Failed etc...).  So far the only way 
I have found to do it is to store the output of:

printf "open aac0\ncontainer list\nexit\n" | aaccli

For a known good status and then periodiacly check the output of the 
above command with the same status.

Is there a better way to do this?
