现在购买主机板时都会有厂商提供的监控软体可以使用，而最常使用到到功能像温度监控，系统状态等等，但是这些软体都只能在windows下使用，所以如果要在Linux下监控CPU温度，可以透过lm-sensor这套软体来监控。
安装环境：
Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS
安装步骤：
1.安装lm-sensors
# apt-get install lm-sensors
2.设定监控选项
# sensors-detect
通常都是回答yes即可，注意最后一项，例如下面的资讯
To load everything that is needed, add this to /etc/modules:
#----cut here----
# I2C adapter drivers
# modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter
# modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter
# modprobe unknown adapter NVIDIA i2c adapter
i2c-i801
# Chip drivers
# no driver for Winbond W83L785R/G yet
lm85
#----cut here----
3.出现如上讯息后，载入模组
例如我的是i2c-i801与lm85
# modprobe i2c-i801
# modprobe lm85
4.之后再输入：
# sensors
5.就会出现cpu温度之类的监控讯息。
