Is there a command or function available to obtain the temperature and fan-speed
data off a motherboard that is equipped to provide this information, within
FreeBSD?  It might be handy to be able to check this within the system and alert
an administrator if a server starts to overheat.  Right now all I see on my
machine is a way to check temperature in the BIOS menu, but of course that
requires booting the machine, which makes it completely impractical.  There is
probably a way to read this data off the motherboard in a running system, so I
was wondering if anyone has written a utility to do that.
