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.
