[COLUG] using rrdtool to look at you CPU and mother board temperatures.

[Vincent Herried]

My several year old desk top got wonky.
It was  weird, we were gone for several days over Xmas,
and I had set the thermometer to 55 degres F.
The 2nd morning after we got back it was making a warbling alarm
sound from the pc speaker and was shut  down.

I identified the alarm, I think, by setting the bios parms
to cause an alarm to sound at room temperature.
I have apparently resolved the issue by cleaning the dust out
of the cpu fan.

I thought it would be nice to keep track of the cpu temperature
so setup lm_sensors and rrdtool.

See the "graph" shell script and sample output here:

PS: I tried sending the entire script
in the email but it was apparently too long and got held up.
