   There is an impact of the script, that queries the status of the smart test;   
   look at the output:   
      
   Telcontar:~/tmp/disk2 # YottamasterLongtest /dev/sdf   
   smartctl 7.4 2023-08-01 r5530 [x86_64-linux-6.4.0-150600.23.42-default] (SUSE   
   RPM)

   === START OF OFFLINE IMMEDIATE AND SELF-TEST SECTION ===   
   Sending command: "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in   
   off-line mode".   
   Drive command "Execute SMART Extended self-test routine immediately in   
   off-line mode" successful.   
   Testing has begun.   
   Please wait 108 minutes for test to complete.   
   Test will complete after Sat Apr  5 15:15:23 2025 CEST   
   Use smartctl -X to abort test.   
      
   2025-04-05 16:49:57+02:00 	 # 1  Extended offline    Completed without   
   error       00%      3992         -   
   Test ended.   
   Telcontar:~/tmp/disk2 #   
      
      
   Instead of finishing at 15:15:23. it did at 16:49:57. It took more than one   
   hour longer. So I'll change the delay to 8 minutes.

   Cheers, Carlos.
