You can look at the lm_sensors package. It ca

I've attempted to set up lm-sensors, but can't seem to get it to
correctly report valid temperature readings. :(

If you take a look at:

IMHO, lm_sensors is not easy to set up. It never seems to work without
tweaking. How far have you gotten?

Ok, I've learned a bit more:
I'm running Ubuntu (latest) with a 2.6.24 stock kernel
This is using the AMD K8 device for core temp readings

One chip that sensors-detect is not able to help with is: Analog

Here's an ugly one-liner for a cron job:

Nope, sorry. Maybe IPMI isn't as common as I hoped.

Thanks for the ugly one-liner. :)
In attempting to understand what it does, I have pulled it apart to
run it a piece at a time. I find the following:
/etc# TEMP=$(sensors -f | grep -m 1 F); echo $TEMP
Core0 Temp: +82.4°F
/etc# TEMP=$(sensors -f | grep -m 1 F); TEMP=$(echo $TEMP | sed 's/
[^
I would like to get emails if the temperature in my server room (or
the temp on certain sensors of my servers) ever goes up past a certain
threshold. What tools exist and what configurations should I consider
to do this?
Thanks!

That would be >= or => or however your language of choice says it.

I modified the script that was suggested, commented it heavily and
