Hello,
I recently got lm-sensors to play along with my stock unstable 2.6.8 kernel. Now I'm looking for a daemon which utilizes the information read from the Mobo. I have found two which do what I want (shutting down at certain threshold values): 1) sentinelle (http://denis.corbin.free.fr/software.html) 2) mondo-daemon (http://mondo-daemon.sourceforge.net/)
The former seems quite young, while the latter smells of abandonment. I wonder what the "debian way" is to accomplish things like shutdown at a given temperature or fan speed - I found neither of the two possibilities above or an alternative in the repositories.
If you have experience with this: please let me know what you use.
Thanks, Joh
I wrote my own because I did not like what any of them did. It is essentially simple: using the libsensors-dev you get all the data that gets collected. I display the data with Qt in a wharf of fvwm that fits only the 3 most important datapoints. Left click shows it all in a frame. Then if a threshold is reached I sound an alarm with NAS (because I did not have a pc speaker for a while). I can test only the fan, stopping that for a moment and that works. I could if I wanted to shut down the system then. I also collect the CPUtemp in a db and display the history of that with Qt. E.g. to show the difference with a different casefan I bought. FWIW my CPU temp right now is 38.975 degrees. That goes up to about 45 if I run a 3 hour mozilla compile and it gets hot here in Oaxaca...
Hugo.
