 Posted: Mon Nov 29, 2004 11:59 am Post subject: Temperature Logging with lm_sensors |
 |
|
I suspect my poor old athlon xp 2500 is not coping too well with the onset of some warmer weather (here in Melbourne, Australia)...
Hence I have installed lm_sensors and have it working fine and even have the gnome hardware-monitor applet reporting the cpu and m'board temperatures.
However, I can find no application that will log those temperatures. They (e.g gkrellem) will only display the current temperature readings. Which is not much use when I come back to my computer after a time to find it switched off and beeping at me!!
Does anyone know of an application that will read and log the temperature readings at predefined intervals? |

Put in a cron job that logs the output of sensors(1) every few minutes.
Something like:
| Code: | | */5 * * * * sensors >> /var/log/sensors |
Although you might like to wrap that in a shell script to increase security and general sanity...

Thanks, that was stupid of me... I didn't even think of cron. It must have been too simple  |
