CPU temperature and hardware sensor readouts in bash
Authored by: marc_ on Nov 26, '05 05:50:00AM

Hi,

on my PowerBook i get the following output:

PowerBook G4 15" PowerBook5,6 PowerPC G4 (1.2)
CPU/INTREPID BOTTOMSIDE Celsius 23.5
CPU BOTTOMSIDE Celsius 21.25
PWR SUPPLY BOTTOMSIDE Celsius 19.25
1.25713 CPU CORE volts
0 REAR LEFT EXHAUST fan RPM
0 REAR RIGHT EXHAUST fan RPM
TRACK PAD Celsius 17.5
BATT-TEMP temp 18
0 BATT-CURRENT Amps

so far so good. what makes me a little bit concerned is the fact that the temperatures displayed never change even when i can clearly feel that the machine is getting hotter.... My impression is that the script only displays the tempeatures at startup - looks like the values in ioreg never get updated..... It shouldn't be like this, should it?? Do i have to contact the customer service or what.

cheers
