Sorry, it just occured to me that when I said "embedded system monitor" I meant an autonomus, stand alone device that sits in the background and measues power supplies, ambient temps, or any other external system data. I was sort of envisioning a black box that ran linux, and was dedicated to collecting maitenence information. Seems like lm_sensor would be a good start, or am I way off base?
