Comments for xmbmon
This is such an awesome little program
I've been wrestling with kernel patches for lm_sensors for a couple of years now, and I guess I was just convinced that we needed kernel support for reading temperature, fan speeds and voltages from our motherboards.
How untrue! mbmon and xmbmon are a trivial ./configure ; make away, and they do *exactly* what I need, which is producing readings in a simple text-based format. It is definitely one of the more undersung bits of software available for Linux -- don't miss it!
xmbmon205# ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfigdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
