Have you tried ports/sysutils/mbmon? It can try to get the values in different ways, e.g. accessing the chip directly, smbus or isa. It is easily scriptable. I use it in combination with gnuplot in a shell-script to make a graph of the CPU and motherboard temperatures; http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/index.html#monitor Roland -- R.F.Smith http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/ [plain text _non-HTML_ PGP/GnuPG encrypted/signed email much appreciated] pgp: 1A2B 477F 9970 BA3C 2914 B7CE 1277 EFB0 C321 A725 (KeyID: C321A725)
