This obviously depends on your needs. sensord is great for logging and graphing [1] but it doesn't send mails. There's a small script under prog/daemon in the lm-sensors source tree that send mails when alarms trigger, but it isn't installed by default. Please also see: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/UsefulLinks#Hardwaremonitoringapplicationsusingthelm_sensorspackage for a list of applications using lm-sensors. And of course Freshmeat is your friend too: http://freshmeat.net/projects/lm-monitor/ [1] Demo at http://jdelvare.pck.nerim.net/sensord/ -- Jean Delvare
