However, there's one thing I'm wondering about: is there any FreeBSD driver/application/whatever that monitors the system's health (temperature, fan speed, failed components, etc.)? The reason why I'm asking is because Compaq provides such drivers for Linux, which report any failures via syslog. These drivers also control the fan speed (as soon as I load the driver under Linux the extremely high speed of the main fan is reduced to something more reasonable for the system temperature). Unfortunately they do not provide any specs or source code. It's just because I don't feel like having some vital components fail just because a cheap little fan failed and nobody noticed. ;) Thanks, Manuel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
