Is there a way to find out the cpu fan speed through software -- a shell script or other utility maybe? I'd like some way to monitor cpu fan speed and get a notification if the fan quits unexpectedly.

You need lm-sensors


run sensors-detect as root, agree with everything. Then,

I have seen fan speed mentioned.


Word of warning.

What I did find out about sensors is the accuracy of the voltages can be wrong. Take note that this could give a false sense of security. I had a PSU failing but sensors didn't read the voltage correctly. I lost a DVD burner and almost lost a hard drive due to this. You can play with the settings and calibrate the settings.

I confirmed my settings with a good digital volt meter.

I was reminded of this when I saw the ALARM in the above link.
