Top-posting is a very windowsy thing to do, and leaves the reader to have to 
deal with a backwards conversation...

Speaking of...  Just check out your devd.conf manpage, and do a man sysctl and 
man sysctl.conf.  Providing that you have ACPI enabled, you should have the 
stuff there already.  With devd.conf, you can set your action points (alarms, 
suspend, play "Ice Ice Baby.mp3," shutdown, email someone, dial Mom...  
Whatever).  Just kidding about the Ice part...  Don't do it.  :)

For a quickie-look at where you are right now, do a 
sysctl -a | grep thermal | grep temp 
(just grep thermal to see what the rest of the stuff is that you may want to 
play with)....  and have fun.
