By the way, why are there no shutdown options in sensord? I've been using mondo http://sourceforge.net/projects/mondo-daemon/ to monitor sensors and shutdown on fan failure or over temperature. Unfortunately it doesn't work great with lm_sensors on 2.6 kernels because the /sys/ stuff throws it for a loop. I was able to hack a patch into mondo which passes in the right /sys string for a single chip, but the S2468UGN has two such paths, and so my hack doesn't work there. sensord does pretty much everything mondo does except give an option for shutdown. Is this feature going to be added to sensord anytime soon? Failing that, what is the most common "shut down on over temperature" script/program in use with lm_sensors on 2.6.x kernels?
