1) If you have another program wanting the temperature you can read it from the archive table in the database or 2) Create a template called temp.txt.tmpl containing $current.outTemp - and have cheetah create a file called temp.txt every archive interval which you can then read into your other program. or 3) Create a service, bound to loop records, to extract the outTemp from the loop record and create a text file every loop record
