Can gkrellm and/or > lm_sensors do that when pointed to a mail server? i am not sure of direct email support but there is a way to do this in gkrellm. the alerts button for each cpu core. in the alert command put the name of a script to run and in that script use the mail/mailx utility to send an email. it won't tell you the temp but you know the temp has exceeded your threshold if you get a notice. if cooling is proper, i have found the temps not to vary much at all to the point over several years i have never had one get even within 10C of the max operating limit of the chip (on our opterons it is 67c) our temps run between 45 and 52c with full load and around 38c light load. > > - Grant > > ______________________________________________ > Gkrellm mailing list > [email protected] > Read archives-join-leave-set RSS feed: > http://archive.lists.netservicesgroup.com > This service is provided by The Network Services Group: > http://www.netservicesgroup.com > > -- Rio ______________________________________________ Gkrellm mailing list [email protected] Read archives-join-leave-set RSS feed: http://archive.lists.netservicesgroup.com This service is provided by The Network Services Group: http://www.netservicesgroup.com
