Intel D845PEBT2 and temperature monitoring...

[John]

Hi John,

   Just on an off chance.. have you tried:

sysctl -a hw.acpi.thermal

   and checked for any output?

   The following little snippit taken from
the -hackers mailing list awhile back may
also prove informative... It's for a notebook,
but you get the idea.

-John



#define KELVIN_TO_CELSIUS(t)    ((t-2732+5)/10)

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
        int ret;
        int intbuf;
        size_t len;

        ret=sysctlbyname("hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature",&intbuf,&len,NULL,0);
        if(ret==0)
                printf("tz0 temperarture: %d C\n",KELVIN_TO_CELSIUS(intbuf));

        ret=sysctlbyname("hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._CRT",&intbuf,&len,NULL,0);
        if(ret==0)
                printf("tz0 crit temperarture: %d C\n",KELVIN_TO_CELSIUS(intbuf));


        ret=sysctlbyname("hw.acpi.acline",&intbuf,&len,NULL,0);
        if(ret==0)
                printf("AC Line status: %s\n",intbuf?"online":"offline");

        ret=sysctlbyname("hw.acpi.battery.units",&intbuf,&len,NULL,0);
        if(ret==0)
                printf("Number of battery units: %d\n",intbuf);

        ret=sysctlbyname("hw.acpi.battery.state",&intbuf,&len,NULL,0);
        if(ret==0)
                printf("Battery state: %d\n",intbuf);

        ret=sysctlbyname("hw.acpi.battery.life",&intbuf,&len,NULL,0);
        if(ret==0)
                printf("Remaining battery life: %d%%\n",intbuf);

        ret=sysctlbyname("hw.acpi.battery.time",&intbuf,&len,NULL,0);
        if(ret==0)
                printf("Remaining battery time: %d:%d\n",intbuf/60,intbuf%60);

        printf("crit: %d\n",KELVIN_TO_CELSIUS(3732));

        return(0);

}
