On my side, I'm monitoring almost only linuxes. I wrote a script to get
temp/speed/voltages from sensors using lm-sensors (and hddtemp for hdd
temp...)
it's tested on a few different machines (like 4), but seems to be not too
much buggy.
You can get it here :
https://www.makelofine.org/xymon-plugins/hobbit-hardware-v0.1.tar.bz2
If you take it, just tell me if you changed something in, so i'll include
your changes.
