If you're lucky it gives you information on the ACPI thermal control system, if you have one. If you want an alarm based on this, a shell script is easy enough. If that doesn't do it for you, try some of the others. I've known these to work (sometimes) /usr/ports/sysutils/lmmon /usr/ports/sysutils/consolehm /usr/ports/sysutils/mbmon And there are some fun modules you can add to loader.conf (stuff I've done in the past, but could be on an early version of FreeBSD) coretemp_load="YES" smbus_load="YES" smb_load="YES" intpm_load="YES" ichsmb_load="YES" Then give "sysctl dev.cpu | grep temperature" a try. If you're worried about your Winchesters getting over-cooked you can use smartctl, available in /usr/ports/sysutils/smartmontools. Something like "smartctl -a /dev/ad?? | grep -i temp" should do the trick. It lets you mess with the drive SMART (self-diagnositc) system and it can tell you all sorts of stuff about you drive performance to make you really paranoid. Regards, Frank.help
