i just looked at 'man sensors' and it could be run with cron as his board being
less than 5 years old and dual cpu, i would imagine it has sensors on mainboard.
You would expect that to be true, but I never assume that it is.
if lm_sensors-sensord can be set to a short interval, that would be
good also.
no 'man' file on this system, so i could not check it.
lm_sensors-sensord is the package name. Try man sensord is you have
the package installed. The defaults are to check for alarms on 1
minute intervals and log the reading every 1/2 hour. But the
defaults are changeable - you could log every x seconds if you
wanted to. -l option for alarm checks and -L for logging. You can
use seconds (s), minutes (m), or hours (h).
The Fedora RPM installs a sensord daemon, and /etc/sysconfig/sensord
is the config file for it.
