The client script is on deadcat.net - 
http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=501
Here is a sample status message, from my BigBrother server that is using it:
logs]# cat *temp
green Fri Jan 28 09:13:19 MST 2005 Temperature status:
Device             Temp(C)  Temp(F)
-----------------------------------
&green AMBIENT            24       75
&green CPU0               40      104
&green CPU1               40      104
&green CPU2               40      104
&green CPU3               40      104
-----------------------------------
Status green: All devices look okay

Status unchanged in 5.12 hours
Status message received from 1.2.3.4

Note that the output can vary depending on which kind of machine 
temperature.sh is run on, but I believe they all have AMBIENT so thats 
the main value we want to grab and trend

Blah...I'm trying to not use any of the backwards compatible 
features...I want new and improved all the way :-)
