mbmon(1)		    General Commands Manual		      mbmon(1)

NAME
       mbmon - MotherBoard Monitor

SYNOPSIS
       mbmon [options] <seconds	for sleep> (default 5 sec)

       This manual page	documents briefly the mbmon command.  This manual page
       was  written  for  the Debian distribution because the original program
       does not	have a manual page.

       Recent motherboards have	functionalities	to monitor  the	 CPU  tempera-
       tures  and  the	frequency of CPU cooling fans etc.  Although some pro-
       grams utilizing these hardware monitoring facilities have  been	devel-
       oped for	the Microsoft Windows platforms, no programs seem to exist for
       PC-UNIX and the X Windows System	platforms.

       mbmon  used  at the command line	reports	the temperatures, voltages and
       rpm (rounds per minute) of cooling fans.	It can also  be	 used  remotly
       via telnet, thanks to the "-P" option.
