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  temperatures
     and  the frequency of CPU cooling fans etc.  Although some programs utiliz-
     ing these hardware monitoring facilities have been developed  for	the  Mi-
     crosoft  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 tel-
     net, thanks to the "-P" option.
