Yeah the sysctl trick is a good tip, I use that a lot. I wish it could
read all the other stuff though.

That's kinda what I've noticed. We have a mixture of Nagios and other
stuff we use to keep tabs on things and I know there are like half a
dozen sysutils in the pkg/ports. But I was wondering if, at least for
basic temp/rpm stuff, things had settled down and coalesced to the point
where there was one or two "best" choices for something simple where
setting up a whole suite is unnecessary.

Most of our serious rackmount stuff has IPMI, but there are also a bunch
of 'prosumer' servers kicking around I'd like to throw a better single
lightweight util on.
