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  utilizing  these  hardware  monitoring  facilities  have been
       developed 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  remotely
       via telnet, thanks to the "-P" option.
