It appears that my temp readings may not be all that unbelievable - my server room's ambient temperature is currently hovering just about 55 degrees - and here is what sensors -f has to say about my cores:

/usr/sbin# sensors -f
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:  +84.2°F
Core1 Temp:  +87.8°F


So, given that I'm not much of a shell scripter guy, anyone have any tips for how to get the system to mail me if the temp ever gets above, say, 160 F?

Thanks!

Try this first:

modprobe ipmi_msghandler
modprobe ipmi_si
modprobe ipmi_devintf

If you have IPMI hardware, those should succeed. The udev rules should produce /dev/ipmi/0 when those modules are loaded, but if they don't, you can create the device file like so:

mknod /dev/ipmi0 c 254 0

Unfortunately, lm_sensors is doing about as well for me as it is for Kimball:
# sensors
k8temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
Core0 Temp:
           -49°C
Core1 Temp:
            +1°C
As awesome as it would be for my processor to be running that cool (or
even be a dual-core, which that particular one isn't), I don't think
it's right.

Oh come on, computers never lie, so admit it: you're using liquid nitrogen to cool it. Can I have some?
