Thanks for the info. I did try mbmon, not the x version, but the command line version. It hung. I have hunted for thermal details for 2500 servers on dell's web site but can not find anything that seems to relate! I was hoping that acpi was the answer. Seems like the it's a secret :( , I am not an expert in this area. The acpi stuff looks really cool. Very easy to use in any program (I use nagios for monitoring (see ports)).
If anyone knows a detail I don't about this I don't want to flood current unless it's relevant (I think acpi is relevant to curent, but general temp stuff would not be). I will entertain any other ideas in private messages, so please feel free to e-mail me privately. Thanks!
