[mythtv-users] OT: Monitoring CPU/Internal Temperature through Linux

[Chris Isip]

Then add nagios to monitor the output of lm_sensors such as cpu temp,
motherboard temp and fan speed. Use smart to monitor the disks as well and
have nagios take care of that.  You will get email when values exceed
certain preset limits and even can tell nagios to perform actions in such
events.

I've got some lm_sensors scripts (nagios plugins) and smart scripts if you
are interested but you have to get lm_sensors running first.
