Linux users will probably be interested in the lm_sensors package, which
is a kernel module that does what Pierre suggests: makes your system's
hardware health information available via the /proc filesystem.
The homepage is:
http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78/
Even non-linux users might be interested in these pages, as they contain
information about how "hardware health monitoring" works, a useful FAQ,
and plenty of useful related links. (This is why I'm posting this in
response to David's question: the FAQ addresses his question.)
