How to read the motd / Wheres the data from

[Daniel Jørgensen]

Hello

 

I've just installed Armbian on my Asus tinker board, and i have a question. Im going to use it for a project that shows the units cpu usage and cpu temp on a website..  It looks as follows on my unit after logging in via SSH:

 

System load:   1.42 1.43 1.32

CPU temp:      68°C

 

1. How am i supposed to read the System load ? 1.42 ? Of what?
2. How do you get the CPU Temperature? Can i issue a command my self from the terminal to get it my self?

 

Thanks!

2. Take a look into those scripts: https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/master/scripts/update-motd.d -> they get here -> /etc/update-motd.d
