Console CPU temperature

I'm looking for an app that will display the CPU temperature in a shell. I have managed to find an app that will display the HDD temperature using 'hddtemp' but there doesn't seem to be many shell monitoring programs for hardware.

What does

Code: Select all

uname -v
print?
Is there are "file" /proc/.config.gz present?

uname -v returns:

#1 SMP Fri Apr 27 18:53:15 EDT 2007]

That file doesn't exist on my system. I'm running Fedora Core 6 with kernel 2.6.20-1.2948 if that helps you anymore.

Is there a package lm_sensors in the repository? That's probably what you're looking for.
see http://www.lm-sensors.org/

Look at various files in /proc/acpi. If you don't have acpi enabled then you're out of luck as far as I know.

EDIT | Ah yes, lm_sensors. Might still require acpi.

lm_sensors is just what the doctor ordered.

Thanks.
