Difference between revisions of "System temperature"

I have a round robin database graph of system temperature based on the output of lm-sensors with an extra feed from the web to get current outside temperature.

When I upgraded to Karmic Koala, lm-sensors became much more boring and probably more safe. So I'm looking for other sources of temperature data. smartctl provides the temperature of each hard disk, so I'll use that.
