[hobbit] Hobbit compatible temperature monitor

[Tim McCloskey]

If your platform supports it you can use ipmitool for various internals.
Actual server room temp would need some external device such as the ones 
others have mentioned.

Example:
On a Sun X4150 box one of the sensors is Ambient Temp0. 
temp="`/usr/sfw/bin/ipmitool sensor reading 'Ambient Temp0' | awk 
'{print $NF}'`"

Other hardware has different sensor names, some just have (temp) sensors 
for CPU die temps.

Regards,
