How to get total running time of a hard disk

In order to do disk rotation in a server, I need to know the current running time (online) time of a disk on a Linux CentOS release 6.3 (Final) system.
The disks are connected with SATA (e.g. /dev/sdc), are simple rotating type (Western Digital RE type disks), and are not organized in any RAID or similar.
I have tried to find it using smartctrl (as suggested in superuser.com/questions/279412), but was unable to find the information. Any suggestion for command ?

What do you mean you get no luck when running smartctrl? Do you get errors or what? How are the disks physically connected? Do you have a hardware RAID controller? You might not have an easy way to access any data with harware RAID. You really need to provide more details.

So what output do you get forsmartctl --all /dev/sdc? You should see a section labeledVendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds. Do you see any values there? What exactly did you get?

Yes, thanks, found it, I assume it is "Power_On_Hours". Will update the post with result.

Answer based on comments from @Zoredache:
Command is smartctl --all /dev/sdc and the section to look under is "Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds", which has an attribute named "Power_On_Hours".
So command for just getting power on hours (runnning) is:
smartctl --all /dev/sdc | grep Power_On_Hours
Which can then show something like:
9 Power_On_Hours 0x0032 087 087 000 Old_age Always - 10171
The running time is thus: 10171 hours
