Greetings, I discovered your code after an unfortunate crapping out of my cpu fan over Thanksgiving. Fortunately I got to the machine in time and got it turned off, avoiding serious damage. I installed a new fan and heat sink, then installed lm-sensors to keep an eye on things. I also, with the help of a couple of guys in my LUG (Lancaster Co.[PA] LUG), wrote a python script to monitor, and shutdown if necessary. I haven't had it running long, but it seems to work fine. I put the script in /sbin and run it from cron every 2 minutes. I've attached the script so you guys can look at it, alter it or laugh at it and delete it :) Thanks for a great piece of software. Sincerely, Rod -- M. Roderic MacCallum 808 Center Rd.
