Can I add a question to this thread....
Is there someway to get the temp to be displayed via LCDProc
within MythTV?
I'm presently using lm_sensors to monitor temperature remotely
(gkrellm). But I'd
love to see the CPU/MB temp on the VFD Display when I press a button.
Any ideas?

automate it with lm-sensors. use the tools that are already about :-)
