How to: Get CPU temp

stephenw10

Unfortunately using:


function get_temp() {
	$temp_out = "";
	exec("/usr/local/bin/mbmon -I -c1 -T3", $dfout);
	$temp_out = (trim($dfout[0]).'°');

	return $temp_out;
}

Results in the attached image.

Perhaps the character set is being restricted somewhere?

That's a unicode degree symbol, try a standard ascii one, º

@jimp:

It's bad form (invalid html/js/etc) to put in a symbol instead of the html entity. It may work, but it's not guaranteed to do so.

OK, got you, yes correct…

No different. I entered both º and ° and both result in ��. :-\

I'd just leave it out.

(Or convert to Kelvin, no symbol there! ;-)

stephenw10

Kelvin nice! :D

I'll stick with the nasty ° addition to ajax.js. I'm clueless about js, how would one enter that as an ascii code instead? Using ° is not working.

Kelvin - LoL can core temp convert the output?

This is awesome. My i3-540 reads 29C, 29C, 36C, 36C lol.

Will this be included in future snapshots? Or should we go ahead and modify it ourselves?

That is cool, which type of case/box you use? I get 54C with an Atom D510 that sits in a Jetway Motherboard that is in a passive cooled M-350 box.

Though this is 2.0 RC feedback section, but since the topic is on coretemp, I wanted to see if there is a pfsense 1.2.3 compatible 32-bit coretemp file out there that I can use. Moved to 1.2.3 last night as 64-bit snapshot snort is broken since weeks and I don't have the patience to wait any longer.

Pull the file from a FreeBSD 7.2 install CD.

I am not a FreeBSD user.

you don't have to be a FreeBSD user to copy a file off the install CD.

download a copy of 7.1 Install ISO.. Mount the ISO with your favorite Virtual CD program, like MagicISO… Then copy the files from cddrive/boot/kernel

RedRep

I'm downloading the 7.2 ISO right now and I will upload the file as soon as it's done. ;)

Why on earth would you downgrade to 1.2.3 just because 2.0 x64 doesn't work? Why not use 2.0 x32? It works fine.

To be honest, I find 1.2.3 a bit more stable and far more responsive than 2.0RC3. It maybe just me, but after trying RC snapshots since as early as Jan this year, I have started to like 1.2.3 better and despite trying the latest RC3 snapshots from time to time, I keep coming back to 1.2.3.

It's just you. :-)

Coretemp.ko for 1.2.3 attached below, rename to Coretemp.ko

You should consider: asterix was hit by a menhir.

jimp,
you twisted my words or you read it incorrectly.

I said "it may be just me" but I like 1.2.3 better than 2.0 despite trying the latest snapshots from time to time.

Also 1.2.3 HAS been extremely stable and responsive for me.
