I wouldn't do that... each chip supported by lm_sensors is different; as such the files in /proc/sys/dev/sensors are all different (dependant upon chip). the 'sensors' program is aware of all these subtle differences... Reading directly from /proc would normally be fine; but it's a slippery slope when dealing with lm_sensors. As the lm_sensors team has _never_ standardized on a generic representation of the sensors chip data. This said, the script I sent earlier was just a prototype that didn't take the hackish nature of lm_sensors into account.. Hope this helps, Mike
