Program to monitor case temperature?

Hikaru79 · 01-31-2005, 03:40 AM

I've got a Debian server running a whole lot of things in my basement. It's a lower-end computer too. Although it's not carrying an immense load (an Apache2 webserver with moderate traffic, an FTP server with almost no traffic, etc). However, because I leave it on 24/7, I'm a bit worried about it overheating even though I'm not overclocking or anything. Are there any Unix software out there that will monitor the case temperature and warn you if it's getting too high? I'll rest easier at night =)

Thanks!

you can use lm_sensors, and maybe a program such
as gkrellm for graphical to display it on screen in real time.

Hmm... I did a quick 'apt-get install lm_sensors' and that worked. Then, because I'm on the 2.4 kernel, I did 'modprobe i2c-proc' and that worked. But when I ran 'sensors' I get: 'No sensors found!'

=( Is this true? Or have I just not configured it right?
