Linux | Fancy little “dialog” utility
23 Dec 2013Using Linux’s sophisticated “dialog” utility to display CPU core temperature
Installation
sudo apt-get install dialog
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
Here the lm-sensors for detecting temperature (see here for configuration details: http://lm-sensors.org/wiki/iwizard/Detection)
Finally the script goes as
#!/bin/bash
temp1=$(sensors | grep “Core 0:” | cut -c1-24)
temp2=$(sensors | grep “Core 1:” | cut -c1-24)
dialog –title “System temp info” –msgbox “$temp1 $temp2″ 10 22
dialog –clear
exit 0
Using minimal advantage of lm-sensors, it’s just displaying main core temperatures.
