Surely there must be some such for FreeBSD, could someone point me= =20 > to them :-) ? TIA .... For watching the CPU temperature you've got coretemp(4) for Intel CPUs and amdtemp(4) for AMD CPUs. Both report their values through sysctl(8), and bo= th can be loaded as modules. N.B: they're not built into the GENERIC kernel. Just kldload the appropriate module and then do `sysctl -a|grep temperature= `. If you have an ASUSTeK motherboard, the aibs(4) driver gives information ab= out temperatures, voltages and fan speed. You can use smartctl from the sysutils/smartmontools package to monitor the health of harddisks. The disk temperature is given as the attribute name =E2=80=9CTemperature_Celsius=E2=80=9D when you run `smartctl -a /dev/<disk>= `. E.g. the sysutils/conky port can be used as a system monitor.
