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 tempera-
tures and the frequency of CPU cooling fans etc. Although some pro-
grams utilizing these hardware monitoring facilities have been devel-
oped 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.
