$ sensors | grep Temp
CPU Temp: +33?C (low = +127?C, high = +127?C) sensor = thermistor
SYS Temp: +13?C (low = +127?C, high = +60?C) sensor = diode
$ sensors | grep Temp >> sensors.txt
$ cat sensors.txt
CPU Temp: +33?C (low = +127?C, high = +127?C) sensor = thermistor
SYS Temp: +12?C (low = +127?C, high = +60?C) sensor = diode
Now you probably want to make a little script file with the command you will
use in it using the full path to the file and run it via a cron job at
whatever interval you want the data collected. A line this in your crontab
(use crontab -e to edit then save it) should run a script file every minute.
*/1 * * * * /home/stephen/archives/bin/sensor_log.sh >/dev/null 2&>1
With maybe this for the sensor_log.sh having used chmod +x sensor_log.sh on
the file after creating it.
#!/bin/sh
sensors | grep Temp >> /home/stephen/archives/log/sensors.log
Of course changing to your paths and the string you are greping for and if you
want to get rid of the excess on the end of the lines assuming the output
appears like mine above then use this for the grep part of the command.
$ sensors | grep Temp | cut -d"(" -f1
CPU Temp: +34?C
SYS Temp: +14?C
$ sensors | grep Temp | cut -d"(" -f1 >> sensors.txt
$ cat sensors.txt
CPU Temp: +33?C (low = +127?C, high = +127?C) sensor = thermistor
SYS Temp: +12?C (low = +127?C, high = +60?C) sensor = diode
CPU Temp: +34?C
SYS Temp: +14?C
