You can report this to the maintainer and/or file a PR. You can also try one of: /usr/ports/sysutils/mbmon /usr/ports/sysutils/consolehm (and use chm -I from this) > I was hoping to find something that didn't touch disk (nor use up all of > my remaining space in the /usr partition).

It does not touch the disk at all (other than to read the yes binary into memory). It will sufficiently generate a load on the CPU to increase the temperature. You might get the CPU 1-2C hotter with mprime, but I doubt 1 C is going to make or break you. Also, if you are running the amd64 release, the mprime port does not work for the amd64 arch. I've been able to compile it manually, but the port will not work on the amd64 arch. Josh
