Description gashalot 2000-08-14 18:20:01 UTC

I'd really like to see FreeBSD support the temperature sensors that are present on most modern motherboards.  Hardware temperature sensors (for CPU, ambient, etc) and fan monitors are a very important part of remote administration, and seeing as FreeBSD is such a popular platform for servers, it'd be great if this support was added.  Things such as emergency shutdown when sever overheating is detected, paging when fans die, etc. would be very useful for those of us who run FreeBSD unattended (who dosen't?) in a collocation center somewhere.

I'm sure you hate Linux, but they have modules available that support most of the sensors that have been resident on many boards.  Check their work out here:

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

How about lmmon, wmlmmon, healthd, wmhm, and consolehm (and perhaps
others) in the ports tree?

Yeah, those seem to work, due to a difference in wording I didn't find
those when searching through ports later.  Sorry for wasting your time.
