Can't be sure if it's working fine.

[Isakku]

Hi there! I'm using Linux Mint KDE 18.3 and I installed hdapsd on my HP Envy laptop from the repositories, however I'm really not sure if something is wrong. I'm sorry to bother you but I really don't know if this is working correctly.
Reading this wiki article
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Hard_Drive_Active_Protection_System
I have seen there is a hdaps-gl function (the article points to this github) but I can't seem to get it working. Issuing it as a terminal command gives a "no such command" response.
There doesn't seem to be a way to know if my HDD is being protected. All I can do is figure that it is working since there is a hdapsd daemon running.
However when I wanted to use a joystick I noticed I have trouble (Always detected as second joystick) because the laptop's built-in accelerometer always gets detected as the first joystick (js0), and I don't know what would happen to the HDD protection if I do some changes
(like this https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1595666
I want the accelerometer to always be something like js9)
maybe it will stop working?
