Redirection "happens first" so you try to write as non-root, and this isn't allowed. > So i guess temp3 is cpu temp and temp1 is motherboard temp. Or the other way around, it's hard to tell. Maybe looking at what the BIOS displays will provide valuable hints.

Use su instead of sudo. Or maybe sudo sh -c ... -- Jean Delvare http://khali.linux-fr.org/wishlist.html
