This could be done with a separate daemonized or scheduled log monitor, however that is a bit clunky, another item to debug, a waste of resources, and another undocumented interop to fail upon a package upgrade. I'm afraid we don't have anything like that. I think people use 3rd party monitoring tools for this. > If there isn't, what's the best method for doing this and are there existing log watching/parsing scripts which have been thoroughly debugged? I'd like to avoid anything homebrew if at all possible. The only thing we have in lm-sensors is the healthd.sh daemon: http://www.lm-sensors.org/browser/lm-sensors/trunk/prog/daemon/healthd.sh But it's very old and simple and not packaged by distributions in general. It has its limitations too: it relies on perfect behavior of the hardware and its driver and prefect libsensors configuration as well, otherwise you can get false positive ALARMs or missing ALARMS and the script won't work. You may look for something better on Freecode: http://freecode.com/ I'm sure people have written what you're looking for already. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
