That's a background daemon that can be configured to notice events like "temp to high", "voltage to low", etc and either log them to syslog or execute an arbitrary command. Gkrellm is also in the ports tree, and is in general an excellent tool for visually monitoring your system. it includes code to check for various sensor chips. It's an X client, so isn't running unless you are running X. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh? A: Tell them your plans.
