Simple temperature checking GUI?

[Mashly]

Hi,

I have been looking around for a simple way to check the temperatures of the system, and all I can find is complex scripts and commands that I do not fully understand.

Is there a way to do this, or do I need to go down the route of learning what these scripts are doing (as I do not like to run them with out understanding what they are doing)?

Thanks

Matt

There's no way to see the temps in the GUI, only with commands or scripts.

FreeNAS 10 should correct that however ;)

Oh well, thanks for your reply.

Something to make me take the long awaited jump into scripting I guess then.

After you do it once, you'll wonder why you waited;)

If this will help get you started?
This is me trying script install and execution for the first time
with member Bidule0hm holding my hand and being very patient.
I only run one script (at this time) to monitor drive temps.
It's so nice skipping that old routine of getting on the desktop,
starting an SSH session and typing smartctl commands to get all
the drive temps.
To say the script is a time saver is such a huge understatement!!!

Awesome, thanks for the link. I have done something like this on a Mint setup I had, but a long time ago.

I will definitely be working through this tomorrow.

I'll just add that if you want to know something about a command you can type man the_command (for example: man ls), up/down arrows to scroll up/down, space to scroll one screen height down, and q to quit the man page ;)

Some commands don't have a man page on the system but you can type the same thing on google and add freebsd (for example: man ls freebsd) :)

I have a batch command I called "temps" that I wrote that just gives me a list of all the core and HDD temps. It's not automated and there are no alerts, but I pop in every now and then and run it.
