Re: [PLUG] Hardware monitoring
|
Woo-hoo! Looks like I'm in the right place at the right time!
Actually I already have smarttools installed (SuSE 9.1 prof)
so I created a simple shell script to monitor things temporarily:
while test 1=1;
do
echo -n `date "+%H:%M:%S"`
smartctl -a /dev/hda |grep -i celsius|gawk '{printf(" ");print $10}'
sleep 5
done
I'm getting:
18:22:29 47
18:22:34 47
18:22:39 46
18:22:45 46
18:22:50 47
18:22:55 47
18:23:01 46
18:23:06 46
18:23:11 46
18:23:17 46
18:23:22 47
18:23:27 46
18:23:33 47
18:23:38 46
18:23:43 46
18:23:48 47
18:23:54 47
18:23:59 47
18:24:04 47
18:24:10 47
18:24:15 47
.... etc
The alarm was for 57 celsius so the added fans help :-)
