Yeah the sysctl trick is a good tip, I use that a lot. I wish it could read all the other stuff though. > Unfortunately access to other monitoring variables is less consistent. That's kinda what I've noticed. We have a mixture of Nagios and other stuff we use to keep tabs on things and I know there are like half a dozen sysutils in the pkg/ports. But I was wondering if, at least for basic temp/rpm stuff, things had settled down and coalesced to the point where there was one or two "best" choices for something simple where setting up a whole suite is unnecessary. > IPMI Most of our serious rackmount stuff has IPMI, but there are also a bunch of 'prosumer' servers kicking around I'd like to throw a better single lightweight util on.
