accessing temperature sensors?
Is there any way to access temperature sensors from command line / script?
I was looking into it and it seems that lm-sensors might be worth looking installing -- but there so many dependencies and it seemed a potentially dangerous updated package. Is there any other lighter-weight package or alternate solution to get the temperatures?
I'm including lm-sensors dependencies below if anyone is interested in the details.

35- Thanks alot for the response chirpa! That's exactly what I was looking for 8)
- There are other items under /proc you can read too, such as Network Link info and such.
- Hi Chirpa (and all the others.)
I am also looking for such Infos from my NV+. The commands from your example are working. But how can i get the Information from Windows (like the Yahoo Widget does).
Pasadena - The widget gets info via RAIDar data.
Might get some more insight about the RAIDar protocol by looking at this perl script: viewtopic.php?p=61477#p61477 - Hi Chirpa,
Thanks. I look for it and test it. I'll come back in a few days and hope, that i will have found a solution.
Pasadena - Hi,
I see that the /proc/ location is no longer valid for the x86-based ReadyNAS Ultra 2. Is there any other way to get the temperatures? I am also not super-keen on installing the lm-sensors. - Hi,
having the same problem with the Ultra 2. Is there any documentation on how the frontview web interface pulls the temperature and fan values from the system? - You can find the information for the for the HDD temp in the following:
Web(Frontview) interface: Status/Health
RAIDar: Hovering over the disk for the disk health
There is an option for the RAIDar in the CLI call PerlDar:
viewtopic.php?f=35&t=28433
Or if you are needing just the HDD temp, chirpa posted a script that refers to the PerlDar that pulls just the temp:
viewtopic.php?f=35&t=19827#p127739 - For x86 (4.2) systems, you can find the temp/fan paths in /ramfs/enclosure.cfg
