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 tempera-
       tures and the frequency of CPU cooling fans etc.   Although  some  pro-
       grams  utilizing  these hardware monitoring facilities have been devel-
       oped 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  remotly
       via telnet, thanks to the "-P" option.
