Robert Heller Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 When I login on the console, there is this display with a bunch of information, including the CPU temp. I have need to keep track of my CPU's temp, since it seems to be overheating (I have a heat sink on it, but does not seem to be enough -- I have a fan on order). I want to be able to check the temp from time to time, so I would like to run at least the part of the login banner program. What program is that? I am not seeing anything obvious in /bin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werner Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 the motd temp comes from /etc/armbianmonitor/soctemp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Heller Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 2 minutes ago, Werner said: the motd temp comes from /etc/armbianmonitor/soctemp OK, that is some large integer (and that is the wrong pathname -- the correct one is /etc/armbianmonitor/datasources/soctemp, which is a symlink to /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input). How is that converted to something like centagrade, etc.? That is what units are the values under /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/? BTW: I was already away of /sys/class/hwmon/. I am looking for a more "human friendly" output, which I presume exists, since the motd output has it. Or are you telling me that every time I want to check the CPU temp I need to go to a blank virtual term and log in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Heller Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 OK, with more groveling I found /etc/update-motd.d/30-armbian-sysinfo, and it looks like /etc/armbianmonitor/datasources/soctemp (aka /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input) in units of .001 C. This is all I need. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is a symlink but I was not sure if that does not differ depending on SoC I just wanted to write about those scripts in /etc/update-motd.d you mentioned but you were faster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
