Yes, RedHat 7.3 has everything you need to display the CPU Temp unlike RedHat 8.0 (this is one of my pet peeves with the latest version).

Follow these steps and all should be well:

1.  Run 'rpm -qa | grep lm_sensors' to verify that lm_sensors is installed.
2.  Run 'rpm -qa | grep glms" to verify that the hardware monitor applet is installed.
3.  Run 'sensors-detect' to determine the exact command needed for your system.
4.  Create a simple script to run the necessary commands.  Mine is called start_sensors.scr and contains the following (this will vary depending upon the output of sensors-detect):
#! /bin/ksh

modprobe i2c-viapro
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe lm80
modprobe eeprom
modprobe via686a
sensors -s
5.  Edit /etc/rc.local and add the path to this script as the last line so that it will run on boot.
6.  Right click on the tool bar and choose Applets>Utility>Hardware Sensors Applet.
7.  Right click on the applet and choose Properties.  Rotate the fan & cpu channel until you get the desired outcome.


Good luck,
Brian

Anyone aware of any way to check cpu temp while RH 7.3 is running?  Is there
some kind of command?
