NAME¶
mbmon - MotherBoard Monitor
SYNOPSIS¶
mbmon [
options] <seconds for sleep> (default 5 sec)
This manual page documents briefly the
mbmon command. This manual page
was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not
have a manual page.
Recent motherboards have functionalities to monitor the CPU temperatures and the
frequency of CPU cooling fans etc. Although some programs utilizing these
hardware monitoring facilities have been developed for the Microsoft Windows
platforms, no programs seem to exist for PC-UNIX and the X Windows System
platforms.
mbmon used at the command line reports the temperatures, voltages and rpm
(rounds per minute) of cooling fans. It can also be used
remotely via
telnet, thanks to the "-P" option.
