           -o, --once            log one line, then exit
           -w WAIT, --wait WAIT  wait WAIT seconds after each log line, default 60
           -v, --verbose         be verbose
           -V, --version         show program's version number and exit

DESCRIPTION

       ntplogtemp gathers temperature readings across a system. The standard user is ntpuser and
       should have permissions to execute lm_sensors and smartctl.

       The default is to write the data to stdout once every 60 seconds. The log file looks like:

           # time, sensor, value
           1485816568 ZONE0 39.0
           1485816568 ZONE1 20.0
           1485816568 ZONE2 42.0
           1485816568 ZONE3 0.0

       Time is the POSIX time of when the log line is written.

       Sensor is the sensor the temperature reading was obtained from.

       Value is the temperature reading in celsius.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
           Displays usage information and exits.

       -l LOGFILE, --logfile LOGFILE
           Append log data to LOGFILE instead of stdout

       -q, --quiet
           Quiet output, will not display errors

       -o, --once
           Log the data once, then exit

       -v, --verbose
           Be verbose

       -w WAIT, --wait WAIT
           Wait WAIT seconds after each log line. The default is 60 seconds. The minimum wait
           time is 5 seconds.

       -V, --version
           show program’s version number and exit

USAGE

       ntplogtemp
           This the simplest use of this program. It can be used to check the temperature
           readings of Zones, CPU, and disk drives every minute.

       ntplogtemp -l /var/log/ntpstats/temperature -w 60 &
           This will continuously log the temperature data in the background to the file
           /var/log/ntpstats/temperature. Only log every 60 seconds.

EXIT STATUS

       One of the following exit values will be returned:

       0 (EXIT_SUCCESS)
           Successful program execution.

       1 (EXIT_FAILURE)
           The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.
