NAME
mbmon - MotherBoard Monitor
SYNOPSIS
mbmon
[options]
<seconds for sleep> (default 5 sec)
This manual page documents briefly the
mbmon
command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
Recent motherboards have functionalities to monitor the CPU
temperatures and the frequency of CPU cooling fans etc. Although
some programs utilizing these hardware monitoring facilities have been
developed for the Microsoft Windows platforms, no programs seem to
exist for PC-UNIX and the X Windows System platforms.
mbmon used at the command line reports the temperatures,
voltages and rpm (rounds per minute) of cooling fans. It can also be used
remotely
via telnet, thanks to the "-P" option.
